Yeah, as far as Pokemon evolutions go, No More... is most definitely worth the grind

Agreed, No More’s pretty much this perfected. Should probably drop my rating a touch but there’s just way too much sentimental value here

i enjoy that track in a "wake up and get over urself you stupid dickweed" kinda way that possibly correlates with the lyrics, or maybe doesn't, but yeah it's a lurch lol

Even if it’s a bit one note on a full listen, still a fantastic ballads album from them. I love how it’s like a continuation of the softer side of Murder Ballads and Let Love In.

Hmm, yeah I think he may be losing me slightly by this point. Easily the least interesting Cave outside of Lazarus so far



what are the albums ‘in-between’ like?

this is easily his weakest heyday album tbh, some touching tracks but an absolute snooze end-to-end. No More Shall We Part is a huge improvement (though a bit of a grower); takes everything dour about this and ties it to far more compelling songwriting and arrangements. Abattoir/Orpheus lowkey fucks too, defs don't skip that

That’s reassuring. Yeah I found this too consistently dour in tone and a lot of the arrangements seem to have been completely stripped back. Very ‘one note’ and the pacing is certainly a slog.

Well, at least the boatman's cool



Haven't listened to this one enough, probably doesn't make a 'top ten most listened to Cave' list for me

A top 50 of all time for me this.

Yeah it is for me.

A classic, deep, foreboding, wrought masterpiece.
