man hockey dad aren't even that good

And yeah I feel like this album has some absolute classic tracks but I can't say there's no filler...I cut this album down in my Spotify library to about 8 perfect songs which puts it still around album length and makes it an easy, easy 5.

The length is fine guys. I never feel like it drags at any point

if Achilles were 3 and a half minutes shorter I would probably give this a 5

I have a few minor gripes with this album but the length of Achilles is not one of them.

if my biggest problem with an album is a three minute stretch of one song it's probably still a 5 tbh

Also, Achilles is long, yeah, but that is basically necessary for the lyrical content.



EDIT: I'm saying the length has a purpose, not that someone should like it because of that. If you don't like it because you think it is too long, well, that's okay. Sometimes context is enough and sometimes it has no bearing.

Yeah, its just a nit pick. And some of these highlights are stellar and some not so much. Still amazing all around

I thought Say Yes to Life was my favorite but I think Do Not Let Your Spirit Wane has recently overtaken it. Just can't match the emotion of that track.

The Heart is a Muscle is incredible

so is Say Yes to Life

but yes Do Not Let Your Spirit Wane is the best one here. I feel like so much of this album threatens to collapse under its own weight but gets by on sheer sincerity, and that song embodies that the most.



gah, I wish 2019 had an album that came close to how much I love this one
