The Jim Yoshii Pile-Up - Thanksgiving Grey

It starts off with a sort of slow dreamy sound. I expected it to pick up and get heavy all of a sudden but it didn't. It gradually builds. Like the music, the vocals begin soft but crescendo, which has a nice effect. I really the lyrics a lot; they play with assonance and rhyme without sticking to a pattern.
At first listen, I was slightly annoyed because it sounded like something one of my ex-boyfriends would listen to. But after I got past that dumb reason, it's good; it evokes emotion. Something I would listen to again.
8/10
