I didn't enjoy this record tremendously. I found it tiresome getting towards the end. I mean, there was no doubting that the ideas and music generally were decent, but an enjoyable listen? Far from.

I also found the vocals excruciatingly difficult to stomach. Sounded like Alvin and the bloody Chipmonks.

I haven't tried to make it all the way through this album, but I've listened to a couple songs off it and they were pretty good.

Good album, but their EPs were better.

Another tragic latter-half-of-decade misfire. Why anybody would be listening to this when they could be listening to something really damn good like say, Neu! or Can, I have no idea whatsoever. Sure as hell beats me.

Finally heard this a few weeks ago.

I think I would best describe it solid , if not unspectacular.

I don't understand the hype over it and I don't really understand the hate either. This is got average written all over it.

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.

I had a feeling that name would pop up sooner or later.
