Can't understand why people had a problem with it, and reading the negative reports I thought, was sure I was going to hate it, so I was seriously surprised. Considering the last tracks is "almost one hour" long, I should be groaning and even cheating by skipping it, but I didn't. I was looking forward to it. I'd agree with OH: unassailable.

10/10
I have no way of proving you didn't listen to this album, but based on how you judge other album how you pan things left and right I am surprised you wrote such a positive review for this ... unless you had some kind of ulterior motive behind it.

You actually sat in a chair and listened this whole album for two hours? Didn't run to the bathroom. Didn't get up midway and make a sandwich. The high pitched squeal in the beginning didn't startle you? I was like WTF!!!! and had to turn down the volume. Man that was ear piercing. Another thing, I don't know exactly where at in that two hour album it was but that slurping sound that was annoying. So you also loved sound of the slurping noises? Sorry, but that slurping noise cost it points like anywhere between -0.1 to -0.5 points.

I thought Alder Brook by Evan Parker And September Winds a tiny bit better.
