"I think the father being in HV is just theory atm. Needs more evidence."



Yeah defo, the couple pretty much die and turn into ghosts stuck in purgatory in HV, having the male lead in that be the father here would need either some retconning or quite the explanation

this review looks like a big pile of waffle and not that im hungry right now but one day i might be

nixed 2 random adjectives just 4u there is officially no nutrition left

big brain theory: the family in this alb is the one from Holy Vacants who move into the house in Chicago Typewriter



they survive the story, and there's a weird line about "the husband entranced by the dark" in Gutted that's never brought up again... unless he starts drinking angel blood too and becomes Father in this story. boom I see you Jerry

He can be the astral pariah now cuz he took every last onna them fuckers down

Album Rating: 4.0

Or, y’know, three of them or whatever

guess that settles the debate over whether astral pariahs are born or made

Album Rating: 3.1

maybe the real astral pariah was the family we killed along the way

All family murder is excused as long as you balance it out with a number of dead cops of equal or greater proportion.

But what if you're in a cop family? Isn't everyone in the department *family* after all?



>the family in this alb is the one from Holy Vacants who move into the house in Chicago Typewriter



It was a family of eight, so I doubt it

Went back to Holy Vacants. Definitely have more appreciation for it after digging Astral Pariah. But boy is the song-writing on Astral Pariah tighter.

Album Rating: 5.0

Great review. Been listening to this one non-stop, TS as good as ever, songwriting is so tight. Loved the bit about the interplay between Jones' theatrics and the 'lysergic blues for the end of everything' going on behind him; I'm not sure there is a guitarist who rings emotion out of his instrument more convincingly than John Ferrara - a god of phrasing. After falling in love with "Panic Machine" a couple of years ago this LP scratches the itch.

Then that just means that by the end of the record, protag is the mythological "good cop"
