This album is so much better than I thought it'd be, and my expectations, while not insane, were pretty damn high. Reptile and Satellites make me want to love long, crazy prog songs again. But I think Periphery and The Contortionist are the only ones that can still make me listen with intent to songs like that. These are the first longer-ish songs that, like I said before, I've been able to not only sit all the way through but love the whole song. There's so many parts of this album that give me so many goosebumps. Haven't had that in a while with a full album, usually it's just a part of a song on the album, or a single song. This is a new level of awesomeness from the boys. I love that the name and the attitude towards it is so joking and laid back because it's clear that this has nothing but heart behind it.
I'll again refrain from the lists. The end of Reptile is currently my favorite part of the album but yesterday it was the middle to end part of Crush, the day before that it was the beginning and very end of Satellites. I still love the viciousness of Follow Your Ghost, those vocals are going to be a BITCH to do live.
