As I sit here and listen to Mouth of the Architect's The Ties That Blind I'm reminded of why I enjoy music like this as much as I do. The melodies, the rhythm section, all of it playing off each other to makes such a wonderful wall of sound. The way all six songs come together is truly a gift to hear. It's hard to believe this album is already three years old and still few bands have put forth the effort to try and eclipse what they accomplished on this album.

I wish more people I knew were more open minded/enjoyed this style music. So I could share this (and many other) albums with them. :sigh:
