Oh no, the last thing we need is for this to turn into yet another 'I like Joanna Newsom's voice' vs. 'Joanna Newsom sounds like a retarded child' debate.
On topic, The Gregor Samsa is not, as I mentioned before, all that and a kettle of fish, as I believe the saying goes. It has a lot of potential but it feels restrained in a stilted sense. Instead of the epic, soaring moments of the previous album, this one has all the build up but none of the pay off. If the band had stuck to making an album with a more ambient focus, it would have been wonderful. Instead they've created something ultimately misleading and frustrating. It's still pretty beautiful but the continual inconclusiveness of the songs stands out too strongly after several listens for me not to be let down with the album overall.
