I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to explain what I love about this album into words and I'm not sure that I can. This album needs to be heard - preferably on a good sound system - to fully experience the effects it can have.
Colossus takes me to another plane of existence. One where huge monoliths move slowly through dense mists and deep valleys (the cover to the album is very appropriate). They are so massive that I am nothing but an ant to them.
The music (if you can even classify this as music) paints a vivid picture in my head. Everything moves so slowly and so deliberately that I hesitate to call this anything other than an experience.
To create such a massive album with nothing but some tones, a dense atmosphere, and no melodic hooks is pretty rare. This will be in consideration for my top albums of the year list.
