it's so beatiful on its own, but after an hour of rythm and chaos, right after chant... it just hits differently

I wasn't a big fan of this album when I heard it. It wasn't as dynamic as their first album, but maybe its just one of those things I need to give another listen.

Given what's come before, this is as radical a closer as they could've crafted. Bass and guitar dueled for our attention over the course of an hour, and now we have four minutes of something completely different. Although the instruments' relation to one another often plays more as competition than cooperation, guitar and bass interplay is the core of the album's sound. But now synthesizers supplant guitar, and soothing waves of sound supplant anxious shards of noise. The synth textures invert the character of Levene's spiky, staccato guitar sound. They're sound full, with a calming depth in their tones; and the chords are held until the sound becomes expansive. Strangely, it's the most artificial, least human, music on the album, but probably the most human. The restless experimentation and vaulting ambition (transcending rock, etc.) aren't much in evidence here, and consequently the track has an immediacy that the other songs, for all their virtues, simply don't possess.

Did somebody call this emotionless some time before? (down there on the shoutbox) O_O This is full of a very weird feeling. Nuclear disasters and genetic mutations come to my mind.
