Spacey
This album's atmosphere is absolutely perfect. it is completely entrenched in its cold, chilling, anxious sound, with its spacious, lo-fi production, trembling vocals, and echoey instrumentals. It almost feels like each track is clambering itself together to try and form a song, and every time it does it is wonderful. The only major criticisms I have with this album is that some parts, although experimental and they try, do sound dated, which I can't necessarily fault them for since it was 1979. Not only that, it is sometimes so completely engulfed in its echoey-ness and lo-fi production, it loses the plot and becomes unlikeable to listen to. Noting that, this is still a fantastic album. Will come back for a few songs
