This is a godam masterpiece in minimalism. So few elements but so much vibe. I had this on repeat when it came out. I saw them live at Terminal 5 in college. I really don't think any of their subsequent albums reached this peak (tho I suppose I haven't given all of them the same chance I gave this record) and also Jamie's solo stuff I find less compelling. But this one, my god, it really hits. I listened to this on big speakers recently and was surprised by how much sub was going on in one of the tracks, maybe Shelter? Never noticed that before.
