TIME AND A WORD
No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed: Long ass title. Really beautiful organ sound and progression. Jon’s vocals sound really weird but really cool here. I like this. The orchestra here adds an extremely beautiful sound and I love that section. Truly beautiful. (90/100)

It gives the song a really dark, eerie vibe. The saxophone riff here sends shivers down my ... read more
