i hesitate to call anything the best in its genre of media (in this case, album) but i genuinely cannot think of a better album than this. what absolutely beautiful and wondrous music. it feels very right to listen to. it was one of my friend's favorite albums and i listened to it a lot after he passed away and i have been finding it to be more and more special every time i hear it. very happy that this band exists and to be privileged enough to hear their work. art is such a gift.
