I like () over Agaetis, both are incredibly cathartic albums but () is just a mindblowing experience. Yes, there is a lot of repetition, both lyrically and musically, but that minimalism only adds to the power of the album for me, because they're able to create such an grand, epic, sonic masterpiece using limited parts. To me it's like drawing a great picture using a set of 12 crayons or a set of 128. Obviously both drawings in this case are fantastic records, but the 12 crayons one is slightly more impressive to look at (or listen to).
