Very well crafted, technically proficient math-rock with generally bogstandard instrumentation, many beautiful moments, many very cool moments, and a bit of an erratic approach to energy curves with some especially hyperactive sections - see for example the last track. It's a good album, but while individual moments are very commonly excellent, I didn't find much of an atmosphere to the cohesive whole. I am a bit reminded of bands like The Bulletproof Tiger where what they play is incredible but just feels like a flatly cool experience to me. Still props to those guys for consistent quality across the board at a relatively early era of math-rock. [JBL] 3.7
