Average. There. The key word I'd been searching for. There is nothing in the slightest awe-inspiring about this record. I can't attribute finding this album amazing to anything aside from not having had much of a broad listening experience.

And boo boo I'm not "comparing every prog band ever to Can", I didn't even realize that was some sort of cliche. I was just pointing out that it seems odd to be raving over something plainly mediocre like this when there is such more remarkable stuff to be listening to.
