they're all brilliant in their own ways



alligator is undoubtedly the most youthful, with a sort of gloomy, fuck-it-we're-kids type attitude.



boxer is the transitioning stage, which is why it's the emotional and hard-hitting.



high violet isn't exactly a resolution, but it's ultimately coming to terms with ones environment and maturity. musically it's also the most mature.

i dont see it




if you can't see how it's their most pained record, then i honestly can't help you. listen to "slow show". or "apartment story". or "brainy". or "mistaken for strangers".



it's obviously berninger at his most depressing.

definitely. High Violet has this sense of glimmering hope or optimism that engulfs most of the record, in my opinion.

well i mean you know i like my music emotive generally



but honestly it isn't that different from High Violet, in fact it's a lot more energetic than high violet in most instances.

Boxer took me awhile to get into. Alligator is still taking its time for me. And this one, well every aspect of it seems a lot more evolved. And terrible love is easily their best song
