I got a copy of the album a while back. Overall I think it's a good effort, and I ultimately enjoyed it. If I may offer some slight criticism, although the songs are good with some nice textures and guitar work, I thought there could have been some editing down, I realise the aim was probably 'epic', but personally I found myself becoming bored as the tracks became quite repetitive after a while. I would also have preferred a more varied mixture of song pacing, it is a bit relentlessly downbeat, when I saw you live some time back there were some nice faster paced songs.

But it's a handsome package and certainly one of the best local releases I've heard, my score = 7/10.

Thank you very much. 7/10 is an awesome score. When we recorded the Album it was all live recordings so editing stuff down would have been hard. But we totally understand what you're saying about the repetitive nature of the songs. Believe me it is something we are working on. How to still keep the music progressive with build up without boring people to death with its repetitiveness. I'm sure a lot of post-rock bands have this problem.

Keep the constructive criticism coming it much valued. We're gonna start recording again within the next few months so its good to hear what you think we can improve on.

rad tunes, deserving of a bump

i can't think of any constructive criticisms to post right now on account of having been up for like a day and a half or something

i will use this opportunity to say the book that came with the katerwaul cd smells fucking amazing and is worth the retail price in itself

looking forward to thursday night, yeah!
