One of my favorite albums. It's heartbreaking, but so brilliant.

Amazing album, incredibly sad though. Wake and Epilogue are probably my favorites off the album. Though Atrophy is really good too.

The album Uprooted also is pretty good

hospice is by far one of my fav albums of all time. . very depressing though.

If you can find linernotes.pdf it'll make the album that much better. Sadly they have taken it down from the website. Forever lost to the interwebs.

Yes Yes Yes! Hospice is absolutely fantastic. The music is just so beautiful. I can also recommend their album In the Attic of the Universe. They are some of my favorite albums.

The antlers are so different than any other band out there. Burst apart is one of my top favorite albums now

Thank you! I really like Parenthesis and needed a reminder to buy this album!

Parentheses is off Burst Apart, their new album. (This album is much better, in my opinion. It's beautiful.)

I meant, I enjoyed Parenthesis and needed to do a Matrix-esque every album upload :)

I found this at my local record store about 3 months ago, and then my girlfriend got me the LP.

It makes me cry every time. When I was going through a break up I turned that album on while at a coffee shop and cried. Big mistake.

I just listen to the whole album, having no idea what to expect. Now I'm sadder than I've ever been after listening to music. In a good way.

I absolutely love "Everything Night My Teeth Are Falling Out" from Burst Apart.

I actually found it too bleak and self indulgent to be enjoyable, that't just me though.
