| ive been listening to the new album today--mostly through headphones. this might be one of my favorite albums of the year. they are obviously being somewhat experimental in their approach to metal, a move which generally fails, but here i think it is highly successful. i may even prefer this album to seepia after a few more listens. its a noisy recording so the best way to fully grasp it is through headphone or exceedingly loud. |

For band that use such bizarre chords, rhythms and arrangements its easy to lose track of what's going on. I listened to the whole thing on headphones yesterday and the difference is pretty dramatic; the only way I can describe it is like having your brain vacuumed- really disorientating. |
i didnt notice that bestial aggressor said very nearly the same thing a few posts back. cosigned on his post. |

Heh, glad someone has shared the headphone horror experience! This really is a killer album, it gets better with each listen. Anyone know where you can get a Portal shirt?

Agreed. There are a lot of good bands out there right now, but there sure as hell aren't a lot of ORIGINAL bands out there. In fact there's hardly any. |

| I first heard Portal a few weeks back, and I agree, sounds fucking awesome. I'd like both full lengths on LP. |
