I'm taking your word, FT. I think I saw it in a newsgroup this morning...

Been listening to this for the past couple days. The first 4 or 5 songs are really strong. And you are right about the end of "Destroyer."

You spelt palette as "pallet" in the first paragraph.

Nicely done- well written. It evoked my curiosity and makes me want to hear the disc.

Hip-D is a hype-free zone. No backlash here. It's all about the music...and cheap one-liners at the musicians' expense.

i have a feeling i'm going to listen to this album over and over again for a month and then hardly listen to it anymore. it has that feel.

kinda like i did with marah's album this summer.

that line about the tidal wave kinda makes me feel like listening to that Biggie Smalls line "blow up like the world trade"

Descriptions don't get much more apt than that. Nicely done!

So I've spun this 3 times now and it's pretty damn stellar. I've only heard about 10-12 2005 releases so far and this is def. one of the better ones.

Another one of those bands that I should've been down with from the beginning seeing how I was a big Archers fan.

Thanks FT!

listening for the 2nd time right now - first thougts are summed up easily: awesome. A really classic sound to the album, a real progression over the last couple of albums...visceral and emotional yet really good production and a more finished feel...good balance.
