    I've been pondering it for a fair few years now but, I think I can comfortably say this is my favourite tune. The twinkles, drums, ethereal gasps, it all just culminates into an otherworldly eleven minutes and 40 seconds. What.A.Fucking.Chugger!

      da23injulecz The good stuff's still there, you just have to sift through a lot more rubbish to find it. Same goes with older records as well, just because they're from the 80's or 90's does not make them automatically great.
      Find your local scene and you'll meet others who share your taste, trust me.

    Give something modern without soul and imagination.
