Oh man, "Funhouse" is what I want every slowcore song to be, the tension in that buildup toward the middle is incredible.

Album Rating: 5.0
Interesting, that's probably my least favorite of this album's epics, though it's still excellent of course.

I can get that, it is maybe the most objectionable/out of place piece here (that or "Mother" I guess) but when I'm in the mood that sort of crushing epic is perfect.

Oh damn, so this is even better than I remembered

Fires burn in autumn skies...
Such a beautiful closing line, "Brown Eyes" is low key one of the best songs here, a perfect way to end this album.

The flow of the first several tracks is perfect too, becoming one of my favorite album opening runs.
I know tomorrow you will be
Somewhere in London, living with someone
You've got some kind of family there to turn to
And that's more than I could ever give you...

The epics here are 50/50; Funhouse and Mother are my least favourite songs, Katy Song and Strawberry Hill are the best (not just this album, but of all Red House Painters material)

Hm, I love all the epics, I’d rank them Katy (duh) > Funhouse (love how doomy this is) > Strawberry (gorgeous but Mark’s vocal melodies annoy me a tad here) > Mother (still really really great but yeah it maybe goes on a tad too long)

Strawberry has that classic Mark thing when the lyrics make me want to cringe hard but the overall execution ends up feeling meaningful af regardless

Ah nooo Strawberry's lyrics are beautiful, hit me hard for some reason
Also Marks delivery is amazing

I'm more with Johnny there too, Strawberry has some of the weaker lyrics here.

We know who you are
I read your palm while you were sleeping
And I read though your diary
And the secrets you've been keeping
We're already aware of
this bit is lovely and pulls it together for me
|

Album Rating: 4.5
Oh yeah that bit is great and Strawberry's lyrics are still great, just not one of my faves.
Like I'm only nitpicking, it's an amazing song nonetheless, just not quite a perfect one. The vocal delivery grows on me more with every listen too, check back in a couple months and I'll prob love it.

Of the four Koz albums I've heard so far I rank: Ghosts > RHPI > DCH > Benji, though the top 3 are all already near 5s for me.

Definitely need to check Ghosts and it's been a hot minute since the couple of spins I gave DCH a while back

Eh I don't know, I think the lyrics work because they really capture the the anxiety of a kid (I always thought it was from the perspective of a child at least) But maybe that's also what might set people off.
And yeah the part you noted is beautiful, feels like the emotional highlight, also because of the guitar that erupts shortly in the line after it ("and now for dinner and maybe tomorrow", at the "dinner")
