I feel like this band unlike a lot of other post metal bands (which i love) has great dynamics and it really moves musically. they really are in to something here. I like their new stuff too, but whatever headspace they were in when the created this album is pure unadulterated creativity. the new stuff is similar but I feel as if they were trying to improve on what they did before to gain a larger audience to get traction with the average listener. to me this whole album is complete bliss.
