    Yearning= among the best post-rock tracks ever and >>> any hymn to the immortal wind track.

    @IceSpoon I'm confused... did you mean backwards? Because Everlasting Light is undoubtedly one of most moving audio experiences in existence and ranks high on my "best album closers" list, but Ashes in the Snow is hardly the worst on the album. But if you honestly think Everlasting the worst on Hymn, you clearly haven't seen the Holy Ground performance... the feels

    I think that Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined is their best. It's a masterpiece. Невероятно красивые и тонкие мелодии пронизывающие душу, ведущие в никуда. Да что там говорить, тронуть могут даже названия треков, да и имя самого альбома весьма необычное. Мне кажется, альбом сильно недооценен. При прослушивании в голове рождаются яркие образы, в том числе и история о девочке, сложившей тысячу бумажных самолетиков. Шедевр. .удивительна и необыковенная близость к русскому духу, хоть и проект японский, это достаточно хорошо заметно, и поэтому Mono так близки русской душе. Нет, робяты. Это не обычный посрачок, вроде GIAA, или 65dos, maybeshewill и прочего bullshit. Это настоящая музыка, что-то на уровне GY!BE, хоть и совершенно на них не похоже. Это вселенская скорбь и постапокалиптическая мощь. Это Mono

    yearning is maybe the most wonderful song ever composed, such an amazing piece of art. right in the middle when you think: "ah, ok, just another postrock track, nothing spectacular" mono just destroy you within 8 min and you'll know what yearning means.

    Except for "follow the map", the entire Hymn To The Immortal Wind is IN ORDER in the Top Tracks.

    Listening to "Hymn.." again. First time to listen to MONO in a while and it's still amazing. "For My Parents" really didn't do it for me though.
