we already had a huge argument over this already. why can't you accept the fact that we disagree and just get over it?

I just get riled up by the absurdity of it all to be honest. Nothing against who you are as a person, strictly taste and taste only. When I go on metacritic and see a rating of 30 of an album that should have been a contender for album of the year, it's hard to think that our site is responsible for that rating. It is something that people would look at and think, 'what jackass thought this sucked' and it is ultimately you. Thank god your opinion on F#A# Infinity, ( ), or Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn have no bearing on our site's reputation.This Message Edited On 04.23.08

But just keep in mind that you could have reviewed the album as well.

I stumbled across this review on metacritic. I think it's amazing that such an incredible record could have been so drastically misinterpreted. This is an awful review. I'm intrigued, you say you enjoyed their previous 2 albums, what did you like about them exactly?? Which tracks? It seems a tad inconsistent to rate those 2 but find this unbearable. You say you are a fan of ambient music but I fail to see how you can be. This Message Edited On 05.17.08

No, this album isn't boring. Depending on what kind of mood you are while listening to it, it often makes me forget what I'm doing and just become entirely transfixed by the epic soundscapes. ahhh.

I won't listen to this for a couple of weeks or so, but every time I come back to it I'm blown away. The Arvo Part influence is unmistakable, I love it. They cover "Fratres" live pretty regularly. It's on youtube if anyone's interested.
