Where were you and what were you doing while listening, and did the album's length work with or against that setting?

Hah! I finally got through the whole thing, but a lot of it was background while working. I really need to give it a focused spin.

@Jangles it’s funny, there’s a lot of portions of the album that actually don’t need focused listen, but at the same time the builds have beauty in the patience.

@MC_Benski I'm trying to sneak in a second listen this morning. Paying much more attention. There were entire sections I missed the first time around. A lot of their songs feature super repetitive segments that go in one ear and out the other if you're not making it the focus. I kind of think this is one of those albums that feels great while working, but doesn't deserve to be relegated to the background.

They land so many of their tracks super hard, which as stand alone’s don’t match where they started. I love them for the journey, even if it’s pretty overtly measured all the time.
