I'll be honest. when I heard the singles and realized this album was going to be wordless and beatless I was a bit disappointed. I was hoping for hammock to return to their shoegaze/post-rock mode. but now that I've heard the whole album I'm absolutely blown away. Afraid To Go Home, in it's washes of delay, is beauty beyond words. the masters of guitar centric "ambient" have returned and it's something to behold.
