    The individual disc is only half as good as the double album (The Resurrectionists & Night Raider), but still chronicles most of the better songs, and works pretty well as a stand-alone. Seek out or download the full double album to get the complete experience though, it won't leave you disappointed.

    Perfect post-rock. The new Floyd....well closest yet.

  1. The guitar-led epic soundscapes, choral chanting, woeful strings and portent keys on their debut 'A Love Of Shared Disasters' are still present.
  2. The 77-minute epic is absolutely far too long for some. But it is certainly worth sticking around for, even if the third track--a three-part, 18-minute 'Time of Ye Life/Born For Nothing/Paranoid Arm of Narcoleptic Empire'--appears daunting.
  3. Despite these head-scratching derailments, 200 Tons of Bad Luck brings the gloom in Biblical doses.
