A step in a new direction

This album leans towards the 'rock' in 'post-rock.' The spacey overtones are still present, but less overbearing than those on "all is violent." I'm not sure if the music has the same emotional heaviness as the previous album, but it's effective nontheless. Definately worth the nine dollars.

Epic and Ethereal

An excellent step forward for this Irish band. Highly recommended if you like stuff like Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Godspee, Sigur Ros, or A Silver Mt. Zion.

Great Album from a great band

This Band is just awsome. They produce epic mind boggiling sound waves on this cd. I'm really suprised these guys arent as big as mogwai or eits. I tunes should get their new cd which is really good too.
