'New one is a bit of a step down for me, unfortunately. Still great, and the bookends are especially brilliant, but don't think it's gonna keep me revisiting overall.'



Yeah, tracks 1, 4, 9 and 10 seemed to stick out the most - think I'll still return to it a fair amount though, some good storytelling in there no doubt.



Plus I keep tropical fish, and Craig seems on a mission to remind me to feed them every other song on this album, 'fishtank' used about six times in the lyrics :/

cmon doof get your thinking cap on

gotta say it’s fairly likely that all the fish tank references are a metaphor for being trapped in a contained environment



there’s very little to ever take at face value with finn’s lyrics

every spin I’m loving it that little bit more and catching onto another lyric or production choice



INANW gave me pits in my stomach, pangs of regret and solemnity



ALOR feels a lot more hopeful, characters at peace with their predicaments - I could be wrong until I dive more into the lyrics but that’s the feel I’m getting

Love this blokes front covers. Very spacious, freeing with an element of isolation and being trapped.. apart from the first one which is useless.

I will give it a go, I prefer the solo stuff to the hold steady stuff.

Life size, I’ll have to by my stencils in bulk to accommodate that whopper.

Yeah, thinking that's likely to be the best one.



It's the mid tempo rockers that let the new one down compared to this one. The spoken word tunes are still top drawer.

MJ Lenderman is more worth your time as far as 2022 Boneycore goes. ;-)
