Well, I would have to say that the cold side of "Confield" comes later in the album with tracks like, to name a couple, 'Parheric Triangle', 'Bine', and/or 'Lentic Catachresis' which is a big chunk of the album. I agree though, that it isn't really that hard to digest once you open up to it with what is going on. Very atmospheric on some tracks if you ask me. I personally really like this album alot. To all those who said it wouldn't be liked if you like "Amber", I disagree. I have been listening to "Amber" religiously since I saw them at the El Rey, and I still like "Confield", just for different reasons. Amber-cause it's beautiful, and so freaking emotional. Confield-cause it's different than what I have been listening to, darker, more innovative.
