This band is amazing though. It creates such a great sound with just your basic rock set up. Some of the most creative guitar work I've heard in a while. And Woah. The torrent for Spiderland is now downloading at 20 kb/sec.

EDIT: The album finally downloaded. I listened to the album from start to finish uninterrupted. It was great. The band does such a good job of holding my attention. They managed to make some of the songs long and slowly build up without boring me. I asbsolutely love the guitar work. Its creative and dissonant at many times and goes with the vocals so well, it sets a really isolated feel.
I like how the entire album builds up to that last song where the guy singing screams as if he's letting go of all the tension already built up.
