'Unlike their previous efforts, this album showcases the band's penchant for playing densely layered, folk-influenced music at radically slower tempos. While this album likely alienated a large portion of their early fan base, it has become an important landmark for newer Neurosis fans. In an interview the band stated that the famous cover art was inspired by the movie "The Wicker Man" but since they could not acquire the licence for the image affordably, they created their own straw figure for the artwork.'
1999 reissue with bonus tracks.
