Pretty awesome!
I don't have this one yet, but I love the debut.  Will definitely be getting this one.  It's on my list; just have to place the order.  Unless I can find it at my local record store!  Tongue

It has been catching my attention seeing it's one of the Top Ten Math-Rock and Post-Rock albums EVER. 
I'll look into it soon.

It's excellent - and that's coming from someone who doesn't typically like post rock.

As of right now, it's the highest rated post rock album ever Clap

It deserves it, no doubt. Tongue I said it in my review, and I'll say it again: it would take an absolute doozy of an album for me not to pick In A Cold Embrace as my favorite album of the year.

Whelp In A cold Embrace just arrived in the mail today, and just finished my first listen. I don't like to give out premature praise, but damn, this really is living up to all the hype. This is right up there with GYBE's F#A# album in terms of my favorite dark depressing PR albums (as of right now). Keep up the good work! Beer

Here you go Frank:  http://music.battlestations.ws/ Tongue

The CD is worth the €5. Plus it's only €5, which is like $6.
