I had the same initial reaction the first few times i listened to EP7. In fact, I felt that I couldn't listen to it comfortably until I had completely familiarized myself with it for at least 5 or 6 times. Then after many, many times of comfortably listening to it, I REALLY started to HEAR it. I've sat and studied the composition of those tracks and to my complete amazement, I came out of that having a completely new perspective on that album. Now each time I listen to it, it is like a new experience with new layers of music that move to the forefront. You can listen to it 3 or 4 times in a row and hear it differently each time depending on what you pay attention to. I'm curious what the next project will be like because I do miss the more contained melodies of their previous material. Does anyone have any projections as to what we'll see next?
