deaths_friend Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 ^^ finally a post other than mine haha i honestly cant get enough of this album. initially it felt as though im just falling for the hype but after a couple dozen listens, it sounds better than ever. i've just realised how brilliant some of the bass work is. i really like the packaging on the album also.
