Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) I wasn't sure if I would like this album - but yes, I do! The acoustic guitar is the leading instrument here, and things really get brilliant when the classical chamber ensemble joins in.

mp15ny One of my favourite albums of TTNG. In acoustic sounds even better. Perfect match for autumn mood Favorite track: Badger.

Christie Joesbury Accidentally missed to see this played live. But still an amazing album. Favorite track: Baboon.

Dragotin desperately hopeful for this world Favorite track: Debilitated.

Byrhtnoth Whatever, Whenever is flat out one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever heard. In the first line you get a distant, pained, and nostalgic sound. The guitar and drums meld so well with his vocals in furthering this atmosphere. The guitar's crescendo near the end comes in as a storm that the other instruments continue firmly playing through. The ending having them sound haggard after the storm passes is a great portrayal of the lines: I’m just fine/Most the time/I’ll get by/I’ll survive Favorite track: Whatever, Whenever.

Zé Maria A. Neves Underrated. Beautiful. Mesmerizing. Favorite track: Empty Palms.

Syobnaf Certainly a controversial direction for the band, but this album ultimately rests as my favorite from TTNG. The technical mastery of their previous albums is still present here along with some very thought provoking and philosophical lyrics. I may not always agree with the lyrical messaging, but this is an album which rewards careful listening. Favorite track: A Chase of Sorts.

mrfrogandtoad My introduction to modern beat music and I love it. Favorite track: Fall In Love Again.

yeehaw90125 if the music industry never evolved past 8-track recording this would be the result Favorite track: Popafangout.
