Here's the thing: track 6, "Obsolete Absolute", is so good, so darn good, that you can kind of consider tracks 1–5 an extended intro to it (even though they're quite good), and tracks 7–12 some bonus tracks (even though they're even better than quite good), and this album is still a banger.

This album is so very important to me. I wrote about it here, a few years ago.

> Every once in a while, maybe three or four times a year, I stumble upon a new artist or album that makes me happier. (…) Fewer and a lot farther between are the songs that take the ground off my feet. Music that I don’t have to “get”, because it “got” me first by the mere fact that it exists.

Not to diss anime girl or lo-fi beats to study and relax to, as they're both cultural institutions, but, man, this shit's so much better if you want to HARD FOCUS.

Nice, but not Caribou's best.

Flawless Nick Hornby-esque pop album.

When I hear the expression "immaculate vibes", my brain goes to this album.

Even if it turns out to only be “I Guess Time Just Makes Fools of Us All” and 7 other named tracks of completely silence, it’d still be incredible.
