Last two tracks had me a bit misty-eyed and music almost never makes me cry

it irks me that this album never gets going - i get the point it supposed to achieve but its done so un-subtletly that i can never get into its groove - beautiful music though

I appreciate the short length, it would be too oppressive/hopeless if it carried on

good going Toad, now listen to his other albums and feel the awesome that is the Bad Seeds discography.

At times I wish this would offer a bit more in terms of melodies, different song structures etc. (although I get that that's not really the point.) But it's definitely very good.

Jesus Alone and Anthrocene are the ones that take the cake for me. but I pretty much like every song on this album, bar maybe I Need You although it's growing on me.

Anthrocene is a bit of a non-event for me, in my head its the song that kind of represents the dull, numb moments between explosions of grief when nothing really happens which is a nice concept but I'd still take any other song over it

I Need You is the album reaching a peak of pure grief ridden ugliness



It's a very Ov choice for favourite track, it's fascinating but I don't think it's one I'm going to play in isolation to the rest of the album much

I Need You is the only 'beautiful' thing here apart from maybe that "whoo whoo" in the chorus of Rings of Saturn. both are perfect

the entire Distant Sun track is what I would consider beautiful. Especially when those strings reach their climax at the end. I think there is a lot of beauty, albeit of the darker kind, littered throughout the entire album.



my only qualms with I Need You is the musical part of it. the lyrics are very provoking and basically what holds the track together imo. I think it fits perfectly into the mold of the album though.

it's all beautiful but it's not all """beautiful""" in the typical sense

People really think Cave's vocal delivery on I Need You is conventionally beautiful? It's brutally ugly to my ears, very 'Lulu' Lou Reed old-man-un melodic-shaky-voice 'I'm falling apart' type of stuff :/
