Only just got this. Can't believe I waited over all this time but I gotta eat first.
The album hit me like a ton of bricks!

The promoter is Wot God Forgot! so it will be an unusual gig to say the least. Their last gig was a mix of post rock/noise/gonzo jazz and it was just brilliant.
I've seen Vessels twice already and they're growing on me.

I rarely buy an album without listening beforehand but I so much like the band that I just waited for the release and coughed up my £10 quid. My first reaction was one of disappointment but I like music that's challenging (like say Laymar - who don't have a release but take some getting used to). I'm into my third or fourth play now and the whole album is growing on me. For me though it lacks tension and atmosphere which I look for in postrock. Everything is tight and the album highlights what good musicians they are. I bought Grails and Jakob at the same time and they are both more melodic and again that disappoints me a little bit with 'The destruction of Small ideas'. Seven out of ten though, 6 is mean.
