i am pretty sure the main riff in "bound to be that way" is from the Apostle Hustle song "folkloric feel". i had to listen to this record a few times to get a true rating. the first time i heard it i was floored, the second bored, the third somewhere in between, and a few times later i still enjoy most of it a good amount. i am not super familiar with their other records, but must people who are say this is one of their worse. if that is the case, their others must be great. so i am going to check those out. "a tender history in rust" has an early album leaf feel with the solo guitar picking. "the universe!" sounds like it was recorded somewhere else of lesser production and after the punch in the face riff at the start doesn't really set it up a notch or take it anywhere else worth going. the bass towards the end of "herstory of glory" is pretty rad. "in mind" is probably my favorite song with the brush drums and bells. pretty as hell.
