Nearly four years ago I sadly reported that Minsk was on indefinite hiatus. I also prophesied

Quote:
But before you ponder seppuku at this news, the band is named after a city which has shown historical resilience to invasions and razing. So who knows, maybe they, too, like their namesake, will return and rebuild. Or at least finish that album they mentioned working on and go out with a (sonic) boom.

I'm curious to hear what everyone thinks about this one. I really can't decide even after a few listens. I feel engaged, but not invested...if that makes sense.

On my 2nd spin.

Fantastic record but still grasping new elements thrown in by The Crash and The Draw. Not coming to the conclusion as of now and will wait til it sinks in.

It took many listens, but I have come come to the conclusion the Minsk have released the best post-metal album ever. At least in my opinion, of course.

Great album, but a little too long for me, especially as some songs could easily have been cut from this and the album wouldn't have lost its momentum or flow. I mean, the four-part "Onward Procession" didn't do anything for me, and honestly without that I think the album would have had a better overall impression on me. Nonetheless, tracks like "Within and Without" and "Conjunction" are excellently written and structured.

One of the best post-metal albums I've heard.
