so why is this a double album. I'm not listening to the same album twice. Which side is the better one

What you need to do is have some patience, commit some time over the next few days to listen to them both and come to a decision on your own.

have to be honest, it's almost as annoying as when Tyler Childers released three versions of the same songs back to back last year - listened to the light mix three times and the dark one two times and no revelation so far



decent set of song in and of themselves though

I was saying no revelation in having the two mixes - it's just been a slight obstacle to getting into it

Apologies



When it comes to the mixes it’s subtle, ridiculously so when it comes to certain songs ‘Olive Tree’ for one but there is definitely a difference.



I’m flip flopping between which one I prefer but it doesn’t matter. The album is unbelievably good. Amazing.

I should have just stuck to the light mix, think I prefer it for 90% of the material

I preferred the light mix as well. Will probably just stick to that for now for the sake of time, but if this does cause a revelation and suddenly become a 5, then I'll surely dive deeper into the dark mixes.

think a 3.5 ceiling on this for me - I'm done with it by the end of 'Olive Tree', the last four are 'just there' really



quite a juicy album before then though

Yeah I’m rly not into releasing the same set of songs twice on one album with a “pick your favourite of the two versions” approach. Def adds an unnecessary barrier to entry

I don't really have a problem with the two-version thing tbh. If anything, it's just a fun little compare/contrast game for listeners as they absorb the album
