An Awesome Wave is a story, a book and a real adventure. A soundtrack to something indefinable good. Alt-J is for some perhaps not new, but Alt-J is a different way and has a path to enter music to create so that you performed on the thread from track to track repeatedly enter new worlds. In the world of music of tomorrow!
I would not dare to join other bands or to express negative, because they deserve the highest respect to blend as creative and extravagant voice, melodies and instruments comparisons.
I really deeply fell in love with this album and it is very high up in my own favorites with the best albums of all time. I can not be a face-off tip, because I feel the album as a concept and it's perhaps really thought so; ergo should be heard from beginning to end.
Worth every penny! Have Fun!
