Worth the wait

"While my 5-star review is probably a little higher than what I'd like it to be (It's not quite as good as the first record), it'll do.
Anyway, this album is probably tied for my favorite of the year, so far. As for how it sounds in compared to Alone I Admire (the group's first album), it's not as instrumentally driven, but a bit more poppy. Almost all the songs have vocals through out. Also, like their last album, there's also a 10-minute extra track that's unlisted. Though, regrettably, the new 10 minute instrumental is quite as great as the one on the last album, but the earlier tracks are stunning."
Simply Amazing!

"I didn't think they could top their first release, but they did! This is some of the most beautiful shoegazer ever recorded. The wall of sound technique mixed with beautiful pop songwriting makes this such a beautiful, atmospheric album. Highly recommended for all lovers of music."
