81/100. A sprawling, emotional epic that tugs at the heartstrings and touches the soul. Admittedly, I was sold as soon as I recognized the Tsvetaeva poem, but this album is truly fantastic. I loved the sweeping string sections, the droney instrumentals, and the eerie spoken word passages. Also the cymbals in 'Last Days' were fucking incredible--- they hit with the intensity of a thunder clap.
