    A stripped down album, Lanois' production is pristine and the contoured soundscapes here should be digested as a whole, rather than consumed as individual tracks.

    There's melody and rhythm, but mostly the overtones float through the ether, seldom resolving into anything approaching a song, although the overall effect is soothing and dreamy. [No. 135, p.54]

    The listener either needs to 1) absorb the unifying mood in its entirety or 2) keep an ear out for isolated moments of transcendent yet touch-and-go beauty. Fortunately for the headphone listeners out there, Goodbye to Language has an abundance of both.
