For a site that absolutely adores this band I doubt there are many that would 'root for the underdog'

the opinions are stupid, he doesn't get the music and I straight up don't like him, but it isn't poorly written. But because his opinions just make no sense (which is my opinion), I wont pos him. But since it's not a 'bad' review, I won't neg either. I never even said it was superbly written, but it was a well-written review, despite ir being WRONG.

It is a Christianality theme, it is fictional, but no religion in the music, it is Okay, it is funny, do you need some coffee from a Christian coffee shop?

[good grammar/semi-clear idea(singular)] -(unequal sign)- [well-written]
and LeperCon, it happens all the time.. whenever there's a review that uses good grammar and has some small sensible value
people that love to sound open-minded extol it as well-written.

I think its well written, and Im the greatest writer of all time. In my house at least :P
Seriously though, its not SUPERB, but it is by no means poorly written, and doesnt deserve a neg IMO.

Thanks for taking your time to respond. What can I say? I do not agree. I see resemblances to classical music, it hard not to see them, but the album falls behind its models. It is important to note this is not a post-rock discussion. I am not claiming there is better post-rock, or that they should stick to a given formula. Simply, the album is not good.

With all the discussion about this I'm getting eager to listen again, although I'm waiting for a stormy day for it to make the best impression.

Why not think of it in terms of ambient music rather than having to adhere to more traditional songwriting conventions?

probably cause he doesn't 'get' ambient music

I never thought of it in terms of songwriting conventions. These are not songs. Ambient music? There is better.

Simply, the album is not good.
But HOW? And WHY?
The main point I got out of this review and your comments is that the music amounts to nothing; there are no climaxes. What you have to realize is that was never the point. The composition flows between 24 movements that amount to a whole, each piece working off each other to fit into that whole. There are no climaxes because the music doesn't call for it. There are hills and valley within the grand scope of the piece, not just in each song like a typical band would do.
I still can't fathom how you can say this falls behind the model of classical compositions. It does everything right: it has a central theme that is modulated throughout the movements, the timbre is kept dark and bleak, each movement fits together and of course the harmony is impeccable.
Obviously I don't agree with your opinion, but what I'm trying to understand is why exactly you feel the way you do about the album.
