I think this album will age amazingly. It's the band at a very focused level (I don't want to say their most focused when Polygondwanaland exists), really dialed in on their vision. As a result, it's a very tight and cohesive album. I love the '70s jazz vibes this thing gives me, like Herbie Hancock or Miles Davis of that era in some parts. The title track is sprawling and amazing; getting to see them lay it down to tape on the documentary Sleeping Monster was a real treat. I think, even despite that track being so good, my favorite is actually "Astroturf," as I feel it embodies the aforementioned '70s jazz vibes the best. Such a groove.
