I can't picture Doof liking Copeland. That's so far down the Sowing-extravagant-romanticism-core rabbit hole. It's like an album that was made specifically with the purpose of deriving a Sowing 5, which is typically the kind of stuff Doof despises.

I don’t despise it. I know it well enough to know that would be too harsh.



But still, nah - not going to be a fave of the Doof.

I just figured sensitive crooning/string-laden verses/electronic fuckery/lyrics about fate and the universe did not equate to Doof enjoyment, although I happened to think it's one of the decade's best so I'm glad you don't hate it outright, at least.

I have it on a 3 rating at the mo - but it could finish up anywhere between a 2.5 and a 3.5

Its absolutely in my top 5 so far. AOTY I don't know, my entire top 5 could take that place for me atm.

Unfortunately the more low key tracks haven’t clicked with me, if it maintained the style/quality of the first 5 songs it’d be a 4 but aside from the closer nothing after that affects me.

Don't Settle is such a critical song on the album for me. I think without it I don't consider it a borderline classic. All the songs are 4/5 material but that's the one that sends shivers up my spine every time.

Just listened to this again yesterday. Some songs are just breathtaking. Still my favorite folk album of the year

Really love Don't Settle but I'm still convinced it's the weakest of the first five

unrelated but just had a bit of a breakdown when that crash in "Fool's Game" came in early today... it's like fighting against the entire world at once, losing, succumbing, before realizing it was on your side the whole time. fucking kills me emotionally
