I love how he goes full Steve Reich on "Out of Egypt"



Edit: I will never get over how strikingly beautiful parts of this album are and how it never fails to make me feel something.

I heard some of this and didn't get it cause I'm not good at memorizing history ;-;

I might check out later i'm kind of tired tbh. The Gacy song was seriously amazing though

The album does peak with "Come On! Feel the Illinoise" and "John Wayne Gacy, Jr." but the rest is pleasant enough.

Plus between those two songs there are ten minutes of pretty much perfect music and the album deserves credit for that.

This album is also riddled with clear influences like Steve Reich

not really my cup of tea, however you can't deny its greatness, and the quirkiness, which makes me rate it so high, on its first listen anyway.

you can realize how good an album or band is without it being the kind of music you would listen to, I would never go out of my way to listen to it again, but I def. see why people would like it, I do but wont listen to it.

ya but i'd never 4 an album i wasn't that much into, your ratings are *subjective* and I just don't see the point in rating an album an excellent score (like a 4) if you aren't that into it.

I'll try again, it is good, I like the quirkiness, and the flow of the album, I see why people like the music, which is good but not the kinda stuff I generally listen to, and prob. wont again but it is good for what it is, go back to your old head



fine hope your happy
