just wonderfully heartbreaking. while it is their most praised and favourited album to me it still holds a special devastating place in my soul. its important and absolutely insane. its not my favourite of theirs, but it is objectively one of their best. which is difficult to choose in a discography like this.
October 23 - February 24, the middle of senior year. this album without a doubt sort of echos the oncoming cold of winter, the stripped back production and the howling vocals sort of give the listener a feeling of being cold. as a good portion of the songs on this album deal with the feeling of loneliness or the cold. outside of this album being a personal landmark for myself in a way, it also is just. really good.
honestly, and personally, a needed album for this year. as things around the world have been truly debilitating to hear and see. this album represents the idea of getting older and disillusioned with the world- yet staying content in that idea. very good.
