Very rarely do I buy a physical album more than once but here I am. The 2009 original is one of the greatest post-rock albums I've ever heard and it also holds a lot of personal meaning for me, but this Anniversary Edition remaster is next level. In this mix, you hear everything in PERFECT balance. The CD is also a nicely-made digipak that looks great next to my CD of the original version. Buy both, enjoy both, but this is THE definitive version! J. Wright Reviews

Picking a favorite on this album was challenging because there are four songs on this album that are neck-and-neck brilliance: the mammoth "Com(?)", the delicate "Sabbath", the climbing "A Speeding Car" and the celestial "Halo". This was where MONO started experimenting with orchestrations, but it's still firmly rooted in more traditional post-rock, with "Com(?)" leaning into post-metal territory at times. I now understand why this album is so acclaimed by long-time fans because it's stellar! J. Wright Reviews
