Check it! It definitely sounds like another step forward after False Priest, yet for some brief moments kind of reminds me of some of their much older stuff in weird ways. I'm only halfway through my first listen, but I can tell this is going to be a really rewarding album to listen to over and over again.
Did I mention this makes me soooooooOOOOOOooooooo happy!!!!!!

I have such a hard time focusing on their more recent releases. To me, it feels like they haven't moved forward in any direction that's enjoyable. I also might be mentally stuck before the year 2000 for the most part.

Are you referring to False Priest and this one. Hissing Fauna and Skeletal Lamping reach out, grab you and beat you over the head with their awesomeness.
False Priest and Paralytic Stalks are definitely much less accessible. It took me a couple listens to really get into False Priest, but now I love it. The sound is more organic but nearly as wild as the two before it which is kind of confusing at first, but I feel like when you get into it, it's really rewarding. Paralytic Stalks has that same sound, but is more like the stream-of-conscious songwriting in Skeletal Lamping accept more expanded, spacious, less spontaneous, but rather experimental and dissonant almost ambient at times. It's the kind of album where it's difficult to tell when one track ends and another begins at times. But I'm still just over 3/4 of the way through the album (I took a break to play guitar).
Reaction in the moment: Holy shit Excorcismic Breeding Knife is insane. Total ambient, sound collage mind-fuck.
I feel like their current direction (after Skeletal Lamping) is kind of similar to the way MGMT went with Congratulations.

Entirely False Priest. Hissing Fauna and Skeletal Lamping are amazing, and honestly, I don't know release years, so I assumed they were older.
I'll have to give it another listen-through soon, though.

For sure, that made sense I was just clarifying.
Man this album is really ambitious. It's like Kevin Barnes wants us to hate him, and I love him for it.
