Mm. Much better than the other good one I heard from these guys a while back (Newfoundland). When you don't pay too much attention to it, it operates almost like a drone record, which is a nice side effect.
However, obviously, the most intriguing thing about this style of music is to devote a lot of effort to it. When I actually began to pick apart the various instruments and the manipulations being thrust upon them, I started to enjoy it a lot more. Not like my enjoyment skyrocketed, but once you understand the sources of all of these sounds and how they morph so freely, you get more out of it.
Taking a crash course on the history of the band through Wikipedia or something really doesn't hurt, and it'll help you appreciate (if not like) these sounds.
