Two gloomy epics to end with.

Brilliant arrangement.

If you were out at sea
They'd throw you overboard
Even a captain needs some rest

Pink Floyd-esque.

Last track - All Your Love.

These lyrics are the very quintessence of Jim O'Rourke's overweening misanthropy.

I've seen your eyes
I think you notice
That I'm so happy now
And I blame you

Please don't cry
I might enjoy that
Don't do anything to change the way you think of me

All your love (repeats)
Will never change me

All your love (repeats)
Will never change

I know you try
To make me notice
All the things you think are good in you

Here's a surprise
I wouldn't need them
Even if there's no one left but me and you

Cause all your love
All your love
All your love
Will never change

This coda is perhaps a little bloated and overlong. shifty

It's amazing how influential Dear Prudence has been over the years.

Not a lot of people these days would dare do something this epic and self-indulgent.

There are elements of Carry That Weight too.

It is over.

That was a competent record but deeply dull, with the vocals too low in the mix.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 15 Nov 2020 - 19:39

I shall give it 2 stars.
