While on the whole this album isn’t perfect, and it’s a bit off kilter and not as well produced as Jar of flies or Dirt. This just makes a lot of sense.

Really cool addition to the catalog. A lot more chaotic of a post metal sound than I associate with neurosis, but I fuck with it. HELLA fun to hear these new ideas + Aaron Turner!!
This paints an incredibly vivid image in my head. It’s an album can really take you to a different place if you let it. Plus stones from the sky is one of the best post metal songs ever.
This is a great addition to the classic hardcore sound of converge. Still brutal, it has more of a polished hardcore punk sound than some of their earlier stuff. It actually reminds me a lot of no heroes, just with new ideas and different pacing.
