Album Notes & Community Reviews

Widely regarded as the Manchester quintet's defining masterpiece, the album is a towering achievement in modern progressive rock. Characterized by its incredibly dense, shifting time signatures and sweeping post-rock crescendos, the project perfectly balances crushing, metallic guitar distortion with gorgeous, melancholic vocal melodies.

Genres

Descriptors: atmospheric, uncommon-time-signatures, melodic, progressive, complex
