I never cried from purely the beauty of the sound of a song until I heard I appear missing. I bought the album from cd to vinyl many times over as gifts to friends and family. Some liked it. Most still loves it.

The extended version is so powerful, qotsa and homme managed once again to push the limit of rock, they are gods among us: Best song of the album. Best album of 2013. Best Rock Band of the last two decades. Josh you're following the tail of Hendrix and Page for real. You're so inspirational.

These music videos are pure artistic gold. They reveal for me a portrait of purgatory. The first character has "wake up" written on his chest, the name of the Buddha means of course the "awakened one". They wander through different bardo, realms where everything is dissolving. Finally in the end their turned into light and dissolve into the source in the song "My God is the Sun." You could interpret these short films as good Hindu and Buddhist pictures of the afterlife.

they might have cut it but the music video is absolutely beautiful, combined with this song it somehow managed to move me to tears. i love this album
