The album is better than I expected. Doesn't quite match the likes of Bossk when its heavy, 65daysstatic when it comes over all glitchy or Eluvium when its being pretty and ambient, but it occupies a nice middle ground.

Average at best really.
Like you say, middle ground.
Some nice riffs though, and I'm glad they are not trying to rip of 65dos as much anymore.
Yeah, I had them recommended to me a while back
as I was/am a massive 65days fan and was hugely unimpressed. The album isn't anything amazing but an improvement on what I'd previously heard
yeah its a good album
and the Network sample is used to great effect. really makes me want to shout things at people - which is always good, right?
I'M A HUMAN BEING GODDAMNIT, AND MY LIFE HAS VALUE! etc
MAYBEYOUSHOULD
tiz a very good album, especially given that they are responsible for every last bit of it.....He Films the Clouds Part 2 is ace...(and not just cos we sang on it! ha)
For fans of Maybeshewill.....
they did an awesome remix of us, and we're making it downloadable at some point today....come have a listen and download it...kinda Them Vs Us....

i was listening to this last night for the first time
the heavy parts are very heavy for a post-rock band (i hate this term but its the best i can think of) but its just too 65days for me
hmmm
they're awesome lads too...well worth seeing live
Cheers guys
The Post-Rock and 65 comparisons are lazy, but thanks for listening anyway.
