I just replaced my cartridge, but I'm struggling with proper alignment - hopefully it only gets better!

It is a pretty unique mix of ambient, ethereal soundscapes and incredibly brutal death metal (so much double bass drum!). There isn't really any other band out there that sounds like this band. The guitar oscillates between dreamy melodies and technical, jazz-infused soloing. Very interesting listen. Sidebar: there is a fascinating discussion of this album on Angry Metal Guy, who initially panned the release due to the mastering job. The sound engineer defended the album in the comments section, and then supplied a new master that was much more well received. I bought the vinyl version of this album based on this discussion, as the vinyl master is more dynamic than the digital master. I have yet to listen to the vinyl (as I'm currently living out of boxes), but I can't wait - since I already enjoy the album!
