4 stars Slow-building, depressing walls of sound surround you. A major key dominates, but it is no way cheesy or pompous. The movements change each other, rarely irregular in signatures, but always breath-taking and mind-blowing. Awesome art-work - I have the same feeling while listening to PELICAN when I stare at the grey cloudy sky hanging heavily close to the ground, almost turning into the earth somewhere on the horizon...

OK, leave poetry to poets ;) PELICAN don't use vocals simply because they don't know where to put it (from their own words). So, the music speaks, and it does it well. Imagine a mixture of guitar-driven gentle Post-Rock (both MOGWAI and EitS immediately come to mind) with Stoner Rock and even Doom-Metal in classic SABBATHesque vein. Excellent stuff - I always loved mellow and melancholic slow music.Highly recommended!!!
