I know I have to give Gnayse plenty of listens before it grows on me,
yet I have been convinced since the first few bars of Eluus that I'm going
to passionately love this album. It is like most love affairs: first, the
anticipation and doubt if it will click; then the confusion and
exhilaration of falling in love; the handling of complexities and
differences, and finally, the settling down to long-term happiness (with
occasional bouts of neglect, unless the relationship is exceptionally well
balanced). Two years have built high expectations towards this album, and
at least for me, Gnayse follows through. It's frighteningly beautiful and
complex.
just to counter this bloated review...i don't like it. Bola bores me. i
don't get why people love his stuff so much. what am i missing?
