This is seriously one of the greatest things I've ever heard. Emotionally, it moves me in a way that not many albums can, which I believe to be a testament in part to Isaac Wood's incredible vocals, which range from frail and delicate, cracking with feeling, to absolutely enormous in the climax of Basketball Shoes, still being full with the range of emotion displayed across the album.

On MaxsMusicTaste's review of billy woods - GOLLIWOG
"@MaxsMusicTaste for sure his writing is so dense I even pick up on new things after like 100 listens. Time travel is present in at least Counterclockwise, Pitchforks & Halos, Golgotha, Make No Mistake and Born Alone, which makes it surprising that so many reviewers overlook it.
My interpretation was that it allows him to present past events as if they were happening right now, which is a metaphor for his PTSD that makes him relive past experiences and struggle to move on from them."
