for me one of the biggest themes being presented here is how we all strive for greatness but are afraid of it at the same time. It's about being afraid of ourselves, sort of.



"It's all about moderate climates

You gotta be cold and be hot for sure

It's all about the moderate climates

You wanna be blessed and be cursed for sure"



"Everyone's afraid of their own life

If you could be anything you want

I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right?"



"It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember

We're alive for the first time

It's hard to remember were alive for the last time

It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember

To live before you die

It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember

That our lives are such a short time

It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember

When it takes such a long time"



some of the best lyrics ever penned right there.

Yeah mvood the Moon & Antarctica has a pretty dark vibe. Tiny Cities Made of Ash feels like a bad trip, it oddly reminds me of Radiohead's The National Anthem.

This is not a 'desolate' album and the reviewer alluding to them creating their own hell, from which there's 'no escape' is a ridiculous and inaccurate assertion. More than anything though, I don't get the descriptors of it being 'freezing' and such -- sure, it's somewhat 'cold' at points, but it's also very breezy and inviting.
