Listening to this album made me feel old because I listened to it when I was in school on my iPod touch and it’s now 15 years old. Despite reminding me of the gradual and unstoppable march of time, it was nice to revisit this album as I do like it and had kind of forgotten that I like it. I do remember in my old age that I used to think the album peaks in the first 4 songs and I would still have to agree with my teenage self on that front, as that is the best run of songs on the album. It gets a bit too sparse and boring in the later songs, but I do like some of those as well, basic space is nice.
