Self-indulgence is cool.

Self-indulgence is cool most of the time.

"I listened to Shadows of the Sun after listening to this. They pair quite well."

Wasn't planning on checking this out, but this is reason enough

Never listened to Toby Driver before, starting here. Downloaded it and am planning on listening over the next couple of days.

Is this better than Madonnawhore? I really liked that one.

My first listen was pretty underwhelming. I feel like the strings are way overbearing here. The Knot is awesome though. There's still something about this that makes me want to listen to it more...I'm assuming it's a bit of a grower.

It is a little grower, yes - but Madonnawhore is still better

Beautiful record, Driver refuses to become stagnant.

I thought some of the songs on Madonnawhore were some of Toby's best ballads (i.e. Craven's Dawn and Boys On The Hill), but for me as a whole, I think this album's much better.

I think Avignon is one of his best songs alongside Manifold Curiosity, Amalia's Theme and Mortality of Doves

Am I actually enjoying a Toby Driver album? What is this? I haven't like any of his previous stuff including KD and MotW but this is kinda nice.

"Avignon is one of his best songs alongside Manifold Curiosity, Amalia's Theme and Mortality of Doves"

I put Avignon in my top 3 of Madonnawhore, and 2/3 of the three KD songs you mentioned are two of my favorite Toby songs ever.

Haven't managed to piece together Toby's more meandering stuff like this. I liked Anamnesis Park enough to give this a few more listens though

Instrumentally this is pretty good really, it's the singing and lyrics that ruin it for me. The instrumental version would be a 3.5-4 but as is I don't think I can give it above a 3.
