excellent review Johnny! one of your best for sure, a pleasure to read. I can't really offer much feedback beyond that, I'll give it a go though;

"While we certainly weren’t there during inception, a true reverence"

"I think you're missing a word before 'inception', either 'its' or 'the', maybe something else.

"The opening track “Made of Metal” is made up of ascending thuds that, due in part to knowing the feeling well, resemble a foreboding anxiety - similar to repeating ‘it’s going to be fine' persistently, albeit pointlessly. As the song apexes, a worrisome tone ferments."

I think in the space of those two sentences there are too many pauses and the flow is interrupted a bit, maybe consider rephrasing? I'd also replace 'made' in the first sentence with something else since 'made' is already in the title of the song right in front of it.

Seriously though, fantastic review man.

This is quite different from AIA, which is sort of her masterpiece. But so is Dragging a Dead Deer. I love how she seems to operate in two very different but overlapping worlds.



This album is her most intimate, nearly claustrophobically so, and the lyrics are finally more discernible. "Clearing" absolutely crushes me. Good review.
