really nice review, particularly the last para. still trying to form my own interpretation re: the raven vs crow, though yours is convincing. kinda curious as to whether it has anything to do with the mating/pairing habits of each, but probably looking too deep into that.

isle of dogs can't not be good, fantastic mr fox was incredible. been listening to this so much, it's surprising how engaging a song like two paintings can be even after repeat listens. there's something so strangely comforting about this album.

Album Rating: 3.5

Yeah that is strange, comforting is the last thing i would call it.

"yuck that album art reminds me of williamsburg"

LMAO

"Yeah that is strange, comforting is the last thing i would call it."

fair. i think (for me) it’s that whereas a crow looked at me seemed to force phil to confront the death of geneviève, this feels more like a celebration of her life – an acceptance that she’s gone and that he’ll be gone and that even though it’s tragic and unfair, it’s real and human, and people have the power to reflect upon and make an impression on life and existence. on a crow looked at me there’s the uncomfortable push – a restlessness – of time that, despite phil’s attempts to resist and push back, forces him to move forward. here it feels like he has some semblance of control – things still suck, but there’s something wonderful about him being able to capture lives through song. he can reflect on his ancestors and people throughout time. he gives himself to time. he capitulates and fights forward rather than backward. it feels more like a product of love than grief.

So this riffs?

Yes. It will riff you to tears.

If it riffs the same as Crow I'm out, that thing shredded me.

Album Rating: 3.5

not quite as much but it gets pretty devastating.

Damn

Earth riffs pretty hard to be fair. I actually find this more emotional than Crow, but not sadder if that makes sense

there's something so strangely comforting about this album.

But people get cancer and die

People get hit by trucks and die

People just living their lives

Get erased for no reason

With the rest of us watching from the side



I love how sing-songy that part is compared to the rest of that song and the whole album.
