Awesome, cant believe I had to listen through the whole track. Once I heard the first song, it was unfortunate that I was just sitting in my car in the drive way and didn't even want to get out.
Ezra M gave it a9:
Just one of those truly excellent pop albums. The only real problem is that they don't have so much to say, directly. They come across to me like those Medieval craftsmen whose message and reward were in the act of creation. Not to sound like a jackass... Generally a less sugary Postal Service without the terrible lyrics.
Marcus E gave it a10:
Outstanding. Notwist has produced their finest music. Development from 12, Nook, Shrink to Neon Golden is obvious. This is the one of the all time greatest album. The music are simply elegant and sensational. From track 1 to the last one, you won't skip any lines, it's totally awesome.
krauter m gave it a3:
nice, in a coldplay sense: in the sense that they've made it almost impossible to feel really strongly either way, based solely on the music. ultimately boring. increasingly obsolete, in the wake of other, better albums, such as last exit. sounds like the books meet travis meet a midsize car commercial. so, if that's where you're at, snooze on. this will not age well.
David M gave it a10:
A self-referencing gem of an album. Space, beauty, timelessness.
Andy W gave it a10:
there are no words to describe how good this cd is. i highly recommend this.
matt a gave it a10:
One of three truly perfect albums released in 2003 (along with Ed Harcourt-From Every Sphere and Pernice Brothers-Yours, Mine, Ours). Glitchy electronica at it's finest, rivaling even Radiohead's Kid A. Brilliant.
