Nick's got it dead on. This is wonderful, important music, and easily the best of the decade. It's warming, comforting, relaxing, and energizing. If I'm in a bad mood, this album gets rid of it. If I'm in a good mood, this album enhances it. Trying to describe what makes this music as good as it is is futile - it is an album that simply HAS to be heard.

Best record released post 2000. Yeah, I think this is better than any record released this decade and the decade is only half over. I don't see someone easily contending with this unless The Books do it again.

8, 9 and 10 at the third listening!

startlingly ugly for about a minute, then a new world of beauty
Ray C gave it a 10:
Oh god this is so much better than Thought for Food. And Thought for Food was good. But this is uh more good. Do not use all caps guys
Simon W gave it a 9:
Nice mix of acoustic intrumentation & found sounds held together with a solid yet novel structure. I hesitate to use the word 'organic', but at some level the choices made in the construction of the collages do seem to arise naturally.
Benjamin Bunny gave it a 9:
And I thought Matmos were brilliant, but after listening to The Books I know what Matmos lacks...HEART. The Books manage to be innovative AND touching. Top 10/2003.
