I think this album splits a lot of people's opinion on the normal music album format - for starters it's an opera based on Charles Darwin's On The Origin of Species, which sounds incredibly complex, which pretty much is; 2 CDs packed with some of the most bizarre sounds you'll hear all year, and this being the definition of a difficult album to listen to.
Approach it with an open mind however, and it becomes a real journey into the unknown. It steadily grows - much like evolution itself, before coming into present day with some synths that sounds like The Knife we all know and love. I admit it takes a lot of patience at times to get through it all, but it's so worth it. It's a great album that I keep visiting from time to time, just to get a sense of peace. It's wierdly soothing...
