I got this vinyl yesterday and after two rounds my thoughts are:
The cover art is beautiful. Lots of interesting pictures to discover while listening to the album.
Music is great! Band sounds bit heavier/thicker than Sonic Youth did and grooves (almost) equally. Style reminds me of Psychic Hearts and The Eternal. While this is titled as a band album, Thurston dominates every song with his vocals and guitar, so this could easily be his solo album, like "Thurston Moore: Chelsea Light Moving". My favorite tracks so far are Empires of Time, Alighted, Burroughs and Frank O'Hara Hit.
The bonus 7" is also ok. Suprisingly there came also CD with vinyl, but I haven't checked it yet.
