One of the toughest bands to decide a fav definitely. There are at least 3 albums that are hard 5s and, depending on the day/mood, I would choose one, but not based on it being above the other two...



This one belongs to 'Floydian' days

Holy shit this is a goat band.



Did not expect this to start off sounding so Steve Reich–adjacent lol, and then that crunchy guitar punches through, and those panicked violins. What a fkn tune. Pt2 is great too, has more of a structural, rhythmic pattern to it before it eventually snaps. Book of Sat is prob their best quiet song--previously would've given that honour to I Talk To The Wind but I think this one takes it. Easy Money is just a huge jam and the ending gives me Floyd vibes

yeah, this one is taxing to digest and took me a hella long time to truly appreciate but it’s so uniquely creative. Probably close to a 4.5 these days. I can only definitely put Court ahead of it (historically ‘prefer’ Red but who knows now, as I’ve been reconsidering my life choices).

Court would be an insta5 for me if there weren't 10 minutes of dead air on Moonchild. Ugh. I might still add that track to my playlist and just try to remember to hit skip after the first couple mins

First 3 min of the first song was so pointless. I do not understand

First few mins are basically building atmosphere. I can see an argument for it being reduced though, and while I do agree that the setup makes the riff hit harder, it's debatable if it needs to be 3 minutes long. I love the strings that come in after that bit - they actually remind me a lot of Persona 5 haha.



Easy Money is my favourite from this overall. It sounds a lot like a Pink Floyd track to me.

Easy Money is possibly my least favorite lol, but it's still quite good as this is maybe the most consistent KC album for me

Larks pt 2 is my favorite here
