Firmly and easily the greatest album I've ever heard. This is what got me into listening to albums in full and I'm almost sad that nothing else will ever come near it.

I'm not gonna yammer on about how emotional this made me cause I live in constant fear of seeming pretentious. That said, I do think the 24 hour runtime is artistically justifiable in this case. Have I listened to it all in one sitting? No, I have a life. I have probably listened to it in full cumulatively though.
