On an unrelated note, can someone get on the staff to feature one of the reviews for this album? Two great reviews to chose from and it's a far bigger release than the 4 featured at the moment.

What do you guys think of "Go"? One of my favorite tracks on this one.

You were right Ali... I did really like this. This year's 'Total Life Forever'... Just with nothing as amazing as 'Spanish Sahara'.
While 'Wall of Arms' was the uncomfortable maturing of indie-rockers The Maccabees, their 3rd LP 'Given to the Wild' sees the English quintet creep ever so close to their natural sweet spot. Using a wide variety of instrumentation, the dynamically arranged soundscapes are intricate, yet subtle; epic, yet intimate; & tense, yet restrained. A testament to the band's expansive & exquisitely crafted song-writing, this bold & ambitious album may be a track overlong, but is undoubtedly a satisfyingly cohesive listen. The fact that The Maccabees continue to evolve is an exciting prospect. Recommended Tracks: Child, Feel to Follow, Pelican & Ayla.

I don't (quite) share your enthusiasm for TLF either, but this is definitely a similar record. Knew you'd like it haha.

For real. If it's any consolation, a friend of mine took a class taught by this 60-something woman who incorporated Meshuggah into her lesson plan one day, and after the semester was up he caught an Opeth show with her and her partner lol

Great bump. I still need to hear their final album but this one is front-to-back excellent, my most listened in 2012. Shame they called it a day.
