Oh man, from 5:56 to the end of the track are my favorite 16 seconds of music the Locust have ever recorded. I think they have so much more talent than almost any other group, math or otherwise. I don't know how much time they actually spend on this, but the individual riffs and all the minute sounds and precise timing are pulled off so perfectly. I honestly think if they dumbed the stuff from "Plague Soundscapes" onward down and repeated and slowed down some of their best riffs a lot more they could be (relatively) big.
Not that I'd ever want them to do that, I think knowing when to let a piece get off the stage allows you to tolerate a song for many more listens, gives you stuff to discover as you do listen to it more, and just makes for denser, BETTER music overall.
