I remember wanting this super bad because I really liked the album art. It was totally worth the wait when I finally got it.

"...At its core, Be One Of Us and Hear No Noise is utterly uplifting, possessing a warm, comforting charm that is laden with undeniably sweet melodies and amiable textures. The celestial beauty never sounds overprocessed, overproduced or overtly fake. Instead the songs are organic, optimistic and radiate a sunny glow that seems primed to put the listener in a state of solace, repose and relaxation. At various points on the album, most notably "Twilight Over Akashi" and "Cerulean," one can't help but marvel at the trio's technical precision and their inherent intellect. The sincerity, simplicity and sonic savant is far too engaging to ignore. Ethereal and accessible, intimate and opulent, Metavari are a true treasure in the world of instrumental music. If this is just the beginning, the next few years won't be that disappointing after all."
