На рєкахъ Вавл҃нскыхъ

This is less of a review, and more jumbled, unfinished thoughts. Might update this in the morning, but for now, this is all I've got.

I don't consider myself to be a very religious person. I very rarely delve into topics like spirituality on here or just in general, as it's a topic that on one hand is very touchy and on the other is something that I feel like I have very little grasp on. To put it in simpler terms, I'm an atheist trying desperately to make sense of the concept of religion.

With that being said, once in a blue moon, a record comes along that forces me to once again grapple with my own understanding of myself and the life I've led. This record is a spiritual experience unlike anything I've ever encountered, in real life, media, or otherwise. While listening, I found myself completely immersed, yet completely shook to the core by the sounds I was hearing. My vision began to blear, I felt tears welling up in my eyes and I wasn't at all sure why. It took me several minutes to adjust to my surroundings, and to make sure that I wasn't going to pass out or experience some otherwise out of body experience. Even now, I'm not sure what to make of what I just heard, nor do I quite know how to describe it. I feel different. It's like the closest glimpse of death I've ever seen, and in some unorthodox way that's reassuring to me. I feel more aware now, if that makes any sense.
