Yeah still a 5
It all still hits for me, and it's all mainly about tone and atmosphere. It makes me feel like I'm there, or wherever I think he's singing about. Goated and thusly categorically dismissing criticisms to stay safe in my ivory tower LALALALALALALALA i can't hear you

And I've also never really liked the Dylan comparisons.
"folk-music raspy singer sorta nebulous lyricism"
Matsson is much more melodically inclined, and I quite frankly think the brand of folk is quite a bit different. Dylan, to me, is inescapably Greenwich Village / New York urban folk, and Tallest Man (especially this era) is much more countryside, nature, whatever. idk

yeah none of these songs sound remotely like any Bob Dylan song. his most Dylan-like song is probably There's A Girl off his newest album
the tone and atmosphere here is amazing but it also just holds up in every way musically, the songwriting, melodies, energy, guitar playing, overall energy, lyrics, cohesiveness, completely perfect

Also, not sure where to put this, since it was a single years after this record, but Time of the Blue absolutely wrecks me every listen - especially the drop before the last chorus. Ugh.

"You know what? Fuck it, I’m reducing it to a 4. I was honestly pretty disappointed when I revisited this, especially considering how much I used to adore it"
Yeah I was really into this once upon a time but I think he's made far better records

I could teleport you to Asgard
I could paraglide from your Shangri la
I could rickshaw you so merrily
I could push you a little more forward in the queue so you don't block up the walkway and allow people with trolleys to get past and join the next queue

I'm not sure how much of his post Wild Hunt music you've listened to but one thing you might appreciate is that his vocal delivery softens more in later records. His voice isn't as harsh or raspy as it is on Wild Hunt and Shallow Grave.

Yeah he's improved his singing so much over the years. It's pretty rough here, which I get is part of the charm for some but I find it to be downright grating at times.

this dude soundtracked the happiest years and times of my life - and several of the lonelier, sadder ones. his voice, guitarwork, lyricism, and songwriting prowess create a sense of magic and immersion i've struggled to find anywhere else. and my god, is he consistent.
will say i miss the years prior to his 'Sunset Tree' era. i think the absence of productive sheen really allowed his music to breathe and exist in its own little world
