yeah I'm a bit worried about the instant gratification factor, which I associate with the soundtrack feel. I like Ae albums that reveal themselves more slowly (though, apparently, not as slowly as confield). Chiastic slide is still my favorite release, LP5 had more instantaneous "holy fuck" appeal, but that wore off rather quickly.
I'm just glad to have something new to listen to, and after Quaristice I don't think I have unrealistic expectations. At 43%
