Rated 5/5
Review by leavingharvard May 26, 2008
It is very nice to find something you photoshopped and spent countless hours trying to reproduce the slip cover listed as the official picture for discogs on this album.

The music itself is simply breathtaking. I can't wait to listen to it again. Turn off the lights, light some candles, and just lay down and take it in. The important part is to not overthink the album. Don't listen to all of these crazy theories about it. By the end of the album, you'll have the desire to listen again. Recommended 100%.

I would say that this album never bored me, not even the first time I heard it. And in fact it only took one time of hearing this album to know that I love it. Not only does this album present a gigantic amount of talent, but it also captivates a whole world of depth in both music and lyrics.
Rated 5/5
Review by Tse-Laki May 07, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
At your first listen, the songs might seem chaotic, boring and without any real dynamics, but when you start to understand the songs, this album becomes a gigantic beauty of sound! All the complex arrangements couldn't be better than they are, and all the way through, they seem to keep the listener focused on the music, together with Maynards outstanding vocal peformance!
Now thats a great record!
