Nice instrumental, symphonic prog. Not very exciting, but The Last Judgement sounds like Emperial March.
Easier listening than The Future Now and ends with Mr X and Faculty X, which are two of his coolest tracks.
Somehow I feel that Hammie wasn't miserable enough while writing for this...
Very cool album, hard to listen to (compliment). Have it on vinyl, very happy with that!
Possessed, I Do Not Live, and Thorns Of Blue And Red + The War are standouts.
(i wont finish this review) Very good album featuring some of his most poetic lyrics; every track is steeped in metaphor, perhaps with the exception of Wilhelmina.
Hammill’s singing is absolutely insane, which is both thematically fitting and musically impactful. It’s an album about isolation, dread, and societal failings in both an institutional and more general sense.
Modern is a musically heavy lament on the inevitable fall of modern society and how our modern lives plunge us ... read more
The greatest his voice has ever sounded, paired with a great tracklist! No More is a standout. Too bad Peel was a pedo…
Really enjoyed this one, but nothing outstanding maybe apart from Fed To The Wolves. It’s hard to make a song about CSA forgettable, especially when it’s worded this strongly. Do not listen if you have related trauma, I am serious!
Close shaves with death are evidently great inspiration. A very emotionally draining ordeal, even by Hammills standard.
One of the greatest concept albums of all time, truly magnificent. My favs are Anyway, Hairless Heart, The Lamia and Carpet Crawlers.
His voice worked much better in the previous century. Still, rest in peace, Anthony Hill.
Not their greatest, but Meurglys III is a god damn awesome epic! ESPECIALLY the "reggae"!
I would like to kiss this album on the mouth, wet and sloppy style.
My second fav KC record. LTIA 1 is much better than LTIA 2 tho
