I really want a full-length from them. Sooo fucking good. As usual no one seems to care outside of the Terminal Boredom universe.

Really? I thought it was a HUGE step down from secular works. I probably would've still put it near the bottom of my list, but for some reason I thought it was a 2009 release anyway. But yeah, there were some breathtaking musical moments, but the vocals dominated the disc. It kinda seems like they're going through the Thinking Plague/Henry Cow type thing, which I respect, but their music doesn't move me like those bands did.

I like it about 10x more than Secular Works! Blows my mind with every listen. Complex, cathartic, emotional with barely any wasted song time (unlike Secular Works I think).

I mean, how could you hate the low-budgeted cruddiness of this music video?

I actually had this at about # 28, but I don't want to put friend's bands on my list, nor do I want my friends to put my stuff on their list (though I doubt anyone would). Hence why no Ruryk was on there either.
