this album has a certain balance bittersweetness and angularity that’s so rare to find in equal balance in post-hc of any era, nothing quite feels like it

bittersweet is true



green glass, whitney walks, cooling card



all my fav tracks on this have a melancholy bittersweet feel.

It’s worth it, drums and bass in particular are iconic

Surprised I didn’t have this one rated, one of the greatest “bought it because I liked the cover” CD purchases I ever made in my life
