Frequent loneliness. Diminished responsiveness. Unwilling interventions. Unforgiving treatments. Symptoms resonating in a child with autism.
That's the daunting task Blindead take on with this vast, 7 song, 45 minute concept album: Describing a young girl's world infected with this mysterious disease. Cleverly done, the song titles form a paragraph warning you just how depressing and despondent this tale will be. Do away with smirks and smiles because this opus is not a joyful piece of work. Hearing a creaking upstairs floor, eerie sounding leaky pipes and mumbled voices in the very first few seconds of the first song portrays a drab basement straight out of a Hitchcock film and signals what's yet to come.
I am finally giving this a listen. Haunting atmosphere and aura surrounds the music. Fans of post metal, sludge and advantgarde/experimental give this a try.
Self-consciousness Is Desire And After 38 Weeks My New Playground Became Dark And Gray, So It Feels Like Misunderstanding When All My Hopes And Dreams Turn Into Affliction XXVII II MMIX.
Believe me or not people, but this is the best post-metal album ever released (unique as fuck). Rosetta's "Wake - Lift" and CoL's "Salvation" are next closely imho.

I think this album needs one more vote to qualify for MS top albums for 2010! I think It might be number one!
Actually, Ive just realized that none of us is right. MXMVI is not a number. 1996 would be MCMXCVI and 1906 would be MCMVI,which means that they either made a mistake or wanted to fuck us in the brain.

Just like I thought.
This interview with Havock explains everything, if you know Polish

And if I don't, you will translate it for me,right?

Of course I will, but what do I get in exchange?
Now in all honesty: The journalist asked what the symbols in the title means? They signify the main character's (an autistic little girl) date of birth, Havok says. He also added that the closing track's numerals sets the finish of the story, which doesn't ends up clear... In short, everyone can interpret that in their own way.

Yes thats all very nice,but again: MXMVI is not a number.
I'm pleased by the fact that this shit constantly remains the best achievement of 2010 by the MS community
Keep it up!
But part of me says if more MSer's listened to this and rated it, the rating would go down. Some would just not "get" post metal or some may not like it at all.
