Would you believe The Folded Palm was my #1 album of 2004? Beating out Funeral, even. Sacrilege. That unhinged energy was just irresistible, so reckless and fearless and bold.
Here the band doesn't reach those highs though. Mercer yelps and howls, but he feels defeated by comparison. The tunes don't quite rollick. This is a more Serious album. This is mournful music from after the war, and is a pale shadow of the fight and fury the band showed when the sky cracked and the land streaked black and red and when their lives seemed to depend on proving whatever it was they had to prove 3/5
