Brent is one great musician... he comes up with a long melt, weir in tow, thrilling kits duet, so weightlifting, noisy bursty space into guitars!!! A+

slept on this one! It smokes! this is a chainsmoker of a whisked, aromatic spicy crock-pot delight. Devils hit deep mellow groove immediately, canvas is perfect, everyone gets to work with angelic grace.

this version paints a Rembrandt of the infinity of matter. Seminal. At over 30 minutes before becoming space, it is a billionaire deluxe experience of groupthink cruising through galaxies with urgent authority. magical version. I am surprised that this doesn't come up every time when talking about the best. Stands with any version.
