This is my favourite album period. I genuinely cannot stop listening to it despite its gut-wrenching nature. The false sense of security Intro and Chaos Space Marine provide makes my heart drop even harder, readying myself for the back half of the album.

This album is really sweet. I do have to admit some songs are mildly forgettable, but there are some true bangers on this album (also Nearly Daffodils live on KEXP is a must).
