Every now and then an album comes along that is sheerly breathtaking. An album that makes you want to curl up into the fetal position because you feel so completely insignificant in comparison to it. Gregor Samsa's 55:12 is 2006's curl-into-a-ball album of the year. It's slow, it's quiet, it sometimes goes nowhere, but it is the best album compiled of nothingness since Talk Talk's Laughing Stock. Like Laughing Stock, 55:12 is one of those albums whose total is greater than the sum of its parts. Granted, there are about seven members in the Gregor Samsa, but you could never tell. All that matters is that you truly understand how beautiful this album is, and that after listening to it, you will feel like nothing.

I'll check it out, 'ho
you can download those three tracks posted and check it out without having to get the whole album.
I like listening to entire albums. I don't download singular songs. Anyways, after listening to it, I -really- liked it. It was rather delicious.
Yeah, I don't like downloading single tracks, but it's sometimes good to get a flavor of it before you download the whole thing.
