chrza This album is more depressing than Hospice but the riffs and vocal harmonies are impeccable. 10/10 Favorite track: Dig Doug.

danksfavorites I love this album so much, I bought it again just to get a vinyl copy. One of my all time favorite Math-adjacent records. The melodies, harmonies, dynamics, & song crafting talent are all brilliant & shown in full swing on this venture. Worth every minute listening to.

amzuh absolutely flawless. pure genius. top five albums oat. so immersive and moving, really captures the insignificance of everything in relation to the eternity of time and the universe... i feel so small listening to this album <3333333 Favorite track: 'Tis I! The Good Boy!.

enter the material that makes up all of us something peculiar is happening to those carbon molecules after an endless span of time this was bound to happen, and also was never statistically significant everything we know has an equal chance at existing and being infinite nothing and not existing what makes all life, against all odds, has prevailed to bring us a message "hello! In about 3 billion years you will evolve into probably the greatest creature in the known universe a dog"

Floating Rib 00:58
single cells forming from select forms of compounds will sublimate others will congregate specialize based on fate, or some random event billions of years dictate if you'll be a bone or face whisker or wagging tail who knows what this will entail? all together we form a little sphere of potential
3.
time spans five fingered hands have a hand in making the companion of man or an extension soon you will be digging holes for the bones that are not your own you have grown out of necessity and to our luck you'll be someone’s best friend desperately needed you will mean everything to them loyal to the end you'd die for them hmmm i am sensing you are almost fully grown and ready to be thrust into the infinite and seemingly endless world we live in it is almost time
4.
Hold On 04:02
hold on i can tell you cannot stand the overwhelming light in your eyes soon you'll be the light in someone's life i am sure you'll have a lot of questions (why am i here) i'm not sure i can answer them (what kind of sorcery is this) i am sure you'll have a lot of questions (why am i here) experience will surely answer them (specifically in a state when) guaranteed once i can feel what you call blades of grass on my four what you call paws and i can't explain the way it makes me yearn for more light upon my coat holds tight pressure on my paws and the walks outside dirt bath bliss roll around what is this what is it on about what is this? the joy is viscous and divine scent sensations echo in my mind you are of a different kind intentions purely undefined i know that when i'm with you i'm up for anything as long as the anything's like everything i've seen a day serene and sweet ending with my head between my feet there’s no time to ask you why forever for now, goodbye
5.
come back yay! i'm so glad that you're home where did you go? i don't know why i am Getting so emotional i barely even (don't freak out, i am back) know who you are, and still can't stand to see you go well we're here now and it's time to say what i've been thinking for what seems like an eternity why do i falter when you are farther from me? i can't understand why i can simply not get enough after this short time we've spent together i can't understand these words you're speaking and not to take away from the fact that they are music to my ears i can’t understand why you would ever choose someone like me i am confused yet grateful and enthused because of you i've been given a life is only so potent i can't ever repay you again, thank you

Dig Doug 04:19
on account of the onslaught of the beams eclipsed by tufts of white i propose we should go on a ride where my sight and smell go wild the park, the park, or the other park i am quite fond of the other park go retrieve the leash i always nibble on met with equal parts frustration and a sigh of disarmament; i'm just so darn cute when i do it when will i find the friend who went in this spot first? when will i finally meet you? when will i have to go home? the edges of the day have smeared and i will wait here
7.
time spans a dozen spins and you seem like you're tired but then you hear those magic words "who's my good boy?"
8.
tis i the good boy boy it’s such a sight to see all my loved ones gathered round me suspicious as it may seem paired with your looks of worry, i'm still happy! thank you all for coming! to what, i'm still learning; what do you mean i was shaking? shaking, seizing these words hold no meaning why are you crying? did i do something? hurt you i would never i'm trying to remember but everything was black "you were someone's best friend; mine." what do you mean, "were?" you can't mean no i
9.
Comfy 03:36
i know what you're about to say and yes, i want to stay and now the look that's on your face is not at all encouraging not at all comforting this table is too cold for me i am starting to worry i don't want to leave your side and i just want to go outside but will i ever get up from this uncomfortable table? when will my body give up funny, that much i'm sure it's able i can't stand the thought of being here one minute and the next i'm gone "in his final minutes we want to make sure he's comfy" is that really the last words i"ll ever hear? the last sight, your eyes filled with tears? "we won't forget you" a bright light and endless shapes it's overwhelming good
10.
bye transported i left my friends, i left my body, what’s happened? and am i dead? or did i ever exist at all? something tells me no memories fading you did exist. you did and you do atoms are far away from where they used to be you used to be one wouldn't call you dead you're just less organized than you used to be you were the greatest friend they ever knew while you may not remember anything, all of their lives were forever changed by you while they will not forget a single thing but i digress you are here now and i must reintroduce you to the carbon molecules the material that makes up all of us
