I've come to the point I think most things on this album are incredible...the closer could have shed 3 minutes, I think most are in agreement of that, otherwise near perfect

The closer is my favorite on this tbh, my favorite closer of the year probably.

I always think Cool S could be a touch shorter until I listen to it and then I'm like, "oh yeah, this is the perfect length" lol

Not a huge fan of the vocals which was also my issue with CEG, but I respect the musicianship on display.

Will listen to it in isolation a couple of times to see if it’s just fatigue with the sound by the end dunno

"Erlking" has become my go-to jam from this, what a chorus that song has.

Album on the whole really is quite special but it's also a lot to take in. I find I can't really listen to D'Agostino's music casually, it's just so dense that any time I put it on I have to give it my primary attention. As a result I've still only listened to this about 10 times as a whole and still feel like I'm processing lots of it, though at this point I'm familiar enough that I've got a sense of the big picture. That said, if it manages to stay in semi-consistent rotation I could see this becoming something of an all-time favorite.

certainly top five of 2023...but yeah, maybe in the conversation of top 25 of the decade at the close of play if it digs those hooks in further

The ceiling beam

Looks so sturdy and strong and inviting

Don’t wait up for me

I won’t be long…

Yeah it keeps getting better and better.



Light is leaking

There’s no pain

The moments they have a way

Of annihilating what you pictured...

I was just three years old, August '92
Our whole town got wiped out by Andrew
The same age, my nan saw wild horses fly
In the great nameless hurricane of '35
