"The narrative rides upon the back of a wonderfully fresh take on the type of post-metal typified by Neurosis, where annihilating riffs and gloriously-distorted basslines (see the middle section of "Throwing A Donner Party At Sea (Physeter Catodon)") mesh seamlessly with Jackie Perez Gratz's ever-tasteful cello and vocals. This gives way to moments of singularly eerie beauty, with the whole of "Mormon Island (Alluvial Au)" being a particularly strong example, before these then segue seamlessly into sections that wouldn't sound at all amiss on a Picaresque-era tune by The Decemberists. The sheer variety of styles and influences displayed by the band is fairly staggering, and even moreso for the fact that it never becomes overwhelming or difficult to follow. Each song acts as a unique and comprehensible entity in a manner which I have yet to hear on any other post-metal record. No doubt this is at least partly helped by the way they all represent individual episodes of Gregory's story, but the way in which they make it all sound so wholly effortless is nonetheless a powerful indication of the band's songwriting abilities." - TheSilentBallet

It's a pretty interesting listen. A bit of a twist on some of the post-metal (or whatever you want to call it) genre.

I've had this for monthes but still haven't heard it.

is it better than the last one?
