Yeah the review is more important. I almost added an edit to say that I actually think your review of the album is quite a good one. My personal feelings about how different this is from other albums that you've rated 10/10 provoked me

Also, I chose that Modest Mouse album because I think both albums have a similarly dark, cold feel to them, and both deal with themes of death and isolation.

Well, that's a lot more cogent a point than I was willing to make. I can see the comparison

And I don't think that most of it's "shit" I think it's a great album, though very different from much of their IRS stuff. I'm sorry you don't feel the same way.

Honestly I haven't listened to the album in years. But I listened to it a lot once upon a time. I remember about a 40% s
hit factor.
I could be wrong though and I didn't mean to trash your review. The 10/10 obviously made me prickle but, like you said, to each his own
