Chugga-chugga chunks are there, refined into escalating and edgy walls of sound with psychedelia and noise. At times expansive and at other times dark and claustrophobic. When fused with the usual jarring assemblage of riffs, a bold and original heavy music is created. Perhaps the only band who has successfully tread similar ground is Neurosis. Until Your Heart Stops' production is a major force as well; the band's undertakings are captured and conveyed in a way that at times sound impossibly dense, balancing gut-stabbing bottom end with piercing highs. This is one key factor among many that burn away the hardcore framework through which Cave-In originally slipped. Mind you, their sound has changed dramatically through the years. This album is a prog metal masterpiece.
