Alright, so on the 1st listen i wasn’t too impressed with (). But on the subsequent listen i started to feel the depth of the music and how, eventhough the elements are still there, this album is quite different from their last one. I still wasn’t sure how i’d rank this album, that is, until i saw them live on Thursday night. They are absolutely amazing live, adding a ton more atmosphere and emotion to the already saturated music. The energy they exhumed literally took my breath away and the new tracks they played live gave me a new outlook on (). Now when i listen to it i can clearly see how it is not only equal to their last offering, but may surpass it in a lot of respects. So fellow dopers, i’d like to see some your own input… ---

I’m madly in love with it. It’s become my writing music, and is playing on headphones whenever I’m stringing words together. I find it less cohesive than their first album, but more melodic. It’s intensely, breathtakingly beautiful in parts. [Here](http://www.theonionavclub.com/reviews/music/music_s/sigurros01.html)is the Onion’s review of (). It calls the album “exhausting, unsettling, ingratiating, and awe-inspiring in one grand, elegant gesture.” I heartily agree.
