Often it reminds me of what a non-shoegaze Curve would be (similar sense of precision without the overdriven scuzz). And I like that for this record, the guitar is simply an element, deployed. Not the center of it. Similar to Prince's pop singles. "Los Ageless" is still my favorite song here

Which Tortoise album, Joe? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts if you ever do get to revisit it.
Oh shoot... I forgot to look at home. I'll Google their album covers and see if I can remember which one. Gimme a sec.

That's a pretty good entry point for them. It's more concise than TNT, which is my favorite and was my own introduction, and more accessible and fully constructed than their self-titled.

I really like the transition from Sugarboy to Los Angeles (which sounds an awful lot like NIN).
