i will never understand the amount of hate for this album
The Post War Dream - 9/10 - amazing intro, absolutely love that beautiful ending part. this is seriously underrated
Your Possible Pasts - 8.5/10 - the quiet parts are cool, the choruses are absolutely sick. i also like the addition of the loud snares randomly during the quiet parts. lovely guitar solo too
One of the Few - 7.5/10 - i kinda like how creepy this is, quite interesting
