been a while. goosebumps all over. fav (ae) album. probably perfect. refuses to age even the tiniest bit imo.
was interesting to read about their ambition of incorprating song-like structures on this one (‘how does songwriting work?’) in that recent droid interview. makes me feel kinda pedestrian rly, but makes total sense i guess. i'd further argue it's the most "albumy" of the lot in the sense that every track leads very distinctly into the next, there's shitloads of interludes, tracks kinda "frazzeling out", paving ways and what feels like a comparatively clear overall dramatic arc imo. also it just sounds so fucking good, crystal clear like.
lp5.
