a complex brilliant recording,Maserati just keep improving.alot of thier strenght now comes from the moodier,more refined moments as oppossed to loud moments.cant wait for their next full lenght.

This album is pretty good overall. I would personally compare it to much of what Explosions in the Sky is doing. It does have times where it rocks out. For me though, I like a bit softer moodier sounds when I listen to music with no vocals. If you like this album, I would highly recommend "Confines of Heat", an album that Maserati made with The Mercury Program. It is a bit softer and not as raw, but still equally good, if not better.

One of the most elegant and efficient instrumental rock band that I've ever listened to. Can be easily compared to the best of Mogwai, Explosions in The sky, GYBE, Do Make Say Think. Overall production could be better but the compositions are so good that this is undoubtedly a 5-star records for the genre. Don't know if these guys will ever play again on stage, but if yes don't miss them live - I've seen them 5 or 6 times and they were just AWESOME.

Occupying the graying space between the non-confrontational melodies and pacing of Tristeza and more gritty rip-offs from post-rock powerhouses Explosions and Mogwai, Maserati is your textbook thrift store guilty pleasure if the genre is worshiped, holding moments of uplift and subtle sonic acknowledgement despite obvious derivations.

Maserati is like an orgasm for your ears. Plus, their drummer is super gnarly.
