Imma join you on that bump. Small Things is such a dark, ballsy opener but if that's an endtimes song the She Treats Me Well/Time is Dancing 1-2 punch is life in all its beauty

Time is Dancing is gorgeous and has always been a fav. Like others in here, I need to check his b sides and that burgh island EP

Do I put both Time is Dancing AND End of the Affair in my top 10 SOTD or not? Hmmm

Yeah, slex, do both. He needs more sputnikers to check him.

Every Kingdom is great, but it blows my mind how he threw atmosphere in here and made it work so well, as if he'd been doing it and perfecting over many releases. I guess "Black Flies" from the debut and the Burgh Island stuff gave a hint of this album, but still. Very impressive. I remember playing life is strange and hearing Black Flies used in it and getting a lot of chills, great song.

Seconded hard, gonna get on this soon

Yeah, I don't agree with the whole "one per artist" rule on lists, like if my top 10 songs list were just this album ranked, id just do that lol

Whip up a piece of craft design in 10mins handing it to the teacher while everyone else is messing about with the glue gun and all the while simple Bill has put his hand in the plastic forming vacuum thing.

Like listening to a dream you never want to wake from. Ben's voice and sound are utterly unique and entrancing. I never grow tired of the worlds he is able to summon in my mind with the simple essence of his work.

In news that will surprise no-one, this album is still magnificent
