Yeah, I'm pretty sure it'll be in my top 10 if we deem it a 2004 release, which I'm also inclined to do since that's what it says on the back. Beautiful album, and probably the first one to realize their full potential for the whole CD. And doesn't sacrifice anything to do it since it still has a couple real standouts like on all their albums. Really starting to grow on me. Kind of like a creeping fungus. Just did a Google and turned up the Uncut review which is some interesting reading. They really, really liked it. Album of the month and top 5 of the year. Lots of prose. Link below.....
