that would be let love in, followed by tender prey, but this is certainly in the mix after that

Big time, Hiding All Away/Messiah Ward/There She Goes open up a fault line



Would be an easy 5 if it was just Abattoir

i think it makes for an interesting The Discourse when there's a broader variety of favourites people have within an artist or band's discography

Beautiful

this would absolutely rip as one 12-track album. I don't think the distinction between the two sides is pronounced enough as is tbh

Style yeah they're all close enough

Quality though, Easy Money and O Children are the only cuts on Lyre that stand up to most of Abattoir

Lyre t/t is honestly an all-timer, broadly I agree though. Breathless is cute

Carry Me would be my third choice from Lyre, but the t/t is a good laff. Rest is hmm



actually Spell is cute, I'm mean. Am trying to remember Supernaturally, and my brain keeps cutting off midway through to the SOMETIMES...LIFE'S INTERRUPTED BY DEATH bridge on Bambara's "Sweat", am I crazy or is there a similar inflection there somewhere

That’s a very disheartening bit of news, Row 😢



Do you want to burn JK Rowling in effigy and hopefully set things back where they ought to be?
