^ I enjoyed that particular record quite a bit when it came out two years back, but for some reason I don't seem to revisit it much. It's definitely got a great old school doom feel though.
Agreed with all your comments in regards to
Close To The Edge. Considering that plenty of albums in other genres run 50+ minutes, a forty minute triple shot of prog shouldn't be too much to digest really. And yet some people like to pretend all prog is more pretentious than whatever post-punk album from the 80's or 90's alt-rock record tickles their fancy.
