I listened to this the second time the other day and enjoyed it far more than I had done.
I Want the Wind To Blow is a great little song.
Whilst I appreciate and enjoy that lo-fi, oddly structured song sound, it doesn't quite pull it off as well as Neutral Milk Hotel or Guided by Voices. Sometimes it can just sound like a mess.
I love how the album ends though, and there's that deep bass noise that creeps up on you after every few tracks, eery but great stuff.

It starts off pretty well, but gets incredibly boring really fast.

The night that it finally hit me how great this was, I thought this was the best album ever after the first two tracks. It takes a slight dip after that, but I find it to be a very moving and beautiful album. Lo-Fi at its finest.

It reminds me of of Montreal's Hissing Fauna in that the first half is almost perfect but then it just goes on too long.

Violent and tame, the album wanders and floats down it's beautiful trail. On a raft under the moon.
My blood flows harshly
My heart beats loudly
My chest still draws breath
I hold it
I'm buoyant
There's no end

If I'm in the right mood I really enjoy listening to this album. Other times it really bores me. Depends on the day I guess.
