The album preserves their defining qualities: superb lyricism and powerful tension. But it's missing two key elements of Low's last outing. That is, the engaging songs and captivating production.

One of my favorite Low projects and one of their most sonically diverse projects as well. The opening track on this project radiates heavy post punk and goth vibes while also sticking to what they do best. They are able to expand upon their traditional slowcore sound but bring more elements from the alternative and indie scene booming at the time on songs like Canada while also making some of their most dark and haunting material yet.
It’s been a while since my last Low review, so let’s get back into it with 2002’s Trust. This is the follow-up to the legendary Things We Lost in the Fire, which had been released just about a year and a half earlier. Meeting the high bar set by one of my favorite albums ever is certainly a tall order for Trust, and I can safely say that it doesn’t place among my top favorites from Low, but still, it’s a unique one in the band’s discography, offering high ... read more

This is my second favorite Low album. I personally this it's diverse and extremely emotional.
BEST TRACKS: Time Is the Diamond, Little Argument With Myself, (That's How You Sing) Amazing Grace, It's in the Drugs
This is easily the darkest album of Low’s catalogue imo, it just has this foreboding sound that creeped me out a number of times.
That doesn’t mean that there aren’t beautiful moments, such as La La Song and Shots & Ladders, which balances out the creepier songs like The Lamb or John Prine.
This isn’t a must listen but a good altogether.
