Everything on this record sounds incredible. The drums are huge. The guitars are massive and in your face. I may as well delete all the music on my computer since nothing can compare to this.
i keep having to pause so i'm only just getting to tortoises, but that guitar at the end of matadors is awesome
On the first episode of The Wandering Wolf podcast with Aaron and Yoni Wolf, he talks about how their relationship works in that they're not the answer for each other but that they'll help each other not be lonely and feel unloved. It's very interesting and I highly recommend both episodes he's on.
i think i listened to one of them a long time ago. didn't know there were 2. i'll have to give it a go since i dont remember that part.
"Michael" reminds me a lot of "Son of A Widow." This entire album is lyrically dense and confusing, and then he just lays everything out there plainly on the final track.

If the entire album is under some sort of code or foreign language to be parsed and translated, the final track is the framework by which to understand the entirety.
