I definitely see the comparisons between film and tv scores (at points, at least) mentioned way early in the thread. I feel like they try and tell a story through sounds, or something like that. I wasn't really able to pick up on what that story was, but it was still very cool!
On the other hand, it was a bit tiring to listen to multiple songs in a row. Very long pieces, and it was easy to lose focus on the song during the down parts. I know it's part of the pacing to incite atmosphere but that doesn't really help keep me interested. So while I'm interested I also feel like it's not totally accessible to me. I'll give some more listening time to them, though, since my interest outweighs the problems I have.

This was my problem with Godspeed when I first listened to them also. I kept listening to them though and it all just clicked one day. They're band of patience.
