"but really, what is the point of rating anything. Everyone has different tastes, no one can tell another what they should and shouldn't like. This observation is particularly appropo with regard to what I consider one of the most incredible groups I've ever heard, the High LLamas. This group is not popular. This album, one of my absolute favorites, a masterpiece, filled with the most beautiful and sublime pop music one could ever wish to hear, the single most evocative of summer album I have ever heard, is out of stock, and not because it keeps selling out. I used to be bitter that in America the Avalanches never became the sensation they deserved to be, or that musicians like this are marginalized and their albums out of print, but I'm passed that. I only write this review for the others who love this album, to show them that I'm out there. This music is certainly appreciated. Might I suggest we all convene at some point, High LLama lovers, like minded in our romanticism, love of beauty, exploring and probing sensibilities? This is the kind of album where if you told me you loved it, I'd trust you, and we'd be friends immediately."
