I can see how many might be confused about the work of most of the bands and/or put off by all of the sounds and happenings throughout the disc. But those who have enough patience to sit through two full spins shall be rewarded with a truly unique galactic experience that'll surely stand out from everything else they have heard in the past few months, years, centuries, aeons,….
