    What a phenominal CD. Everything about it is amazingly well put together. It begins and ends effortlessly and takes you for a ride that is so celestial and strange that you'll want to come back again and again. I think of it as the moments after a night of partying before falling asleep and before waking up hung over.

    It's nothing new, especially if you listen to a lot of postrockish stuff, but this album just screams (well, maybe sleepily mumbles) "listen to me, over and over again." It's not a day time album, but if you'll looking for something to gently carry you to sleep - this is it. Highly recommended.

    Boring, unoriginal and a complete waste of time. Probably the most uninspired album of all time. Worst post-rock album i've ever heard. The blandness of this album is unequalled. I can't believe how some critics have dressed this crap up. Such a lack of feeling and imagination. I actually despise this album.

    It's a solid album, and surely not deserving of anything below a 6. Though it may appear repetitive, it's beauty lies in the subtle changes it makes from song to song finally climaxing in Eastern Glow.

    This isn't an edgy, experimental record. It instead explores human nature through conventional tonality and flow, delicately combining melancholy, detachment, and exhilaration.

    Not only the best Album Leaf album to date but one of the best albums of the year.

    The melancholia lacks distinguishing marks. [#64, p.80]
