fence sitting is not ok and i might have to bump, UGH
am thoroughly ashamed by how much the lolwat flashback episode in the she and i were mercenaries in japan / ... / we were high profile killers, no bullshit bridge in Geneva gets me
first 2 mins of Nola and final 2 of the closer might be this band's finest. alb as a whole most cert is not, but idk if their later concepts nail anything quite as cutting as the sheer ridiculousness of half the subject matter here traded against that rough-ass autobiographical stream either side. if one doesn't get you, the other will catch you off guard. or something. good album?

Nola is Brian's favorite song he's written coincidentally

fair shits to him lol
it's cute when artists have bad taste in their own music, but i prefer it when they don't ;]

Wait lemme correct myself, Time in Heaven is his favorite song he's written
He did single out Nola and Geneva too tho

Oh that's dramatically less cool, but still squares out on avg ig hmm

Idk writing those songs is pretty cool

stratospheric if ascertainable

gonna give these guys a shot (ive heard darkness a few times but dont remember it at all). is this where i should start or would i be better acquainting myself w a different record first?

um yeah, you can basically treat this as their debut album and do everything onwards, then skip back at your leisure

Album Rating: 3.0

i don't think this is a bad place to start, especially considering this is their first of their current bluesy style. Do note that they developed this sound (and in my opinion improved) on later records.
