I agreed with what he began saying. Then he went a bit off the reservation.

Is this the kind of music that helps you kill yourself or prevents you from doing so? Is it an invitation or merely cathartic? I honestly don't know, not being a miserable fuck.

Dude, it's been eight years. Are you going to do it, or are you just crying for attention?

5/10
I am reluctant to say anything negative about album club member's albums cause I said something negative about Trollheart's album once and it boiled inside of him for weeks, and then one day he went off like a volcano and he wrote a wall of text on what a terrible human being I am - all due to that album review. So I don't want to go down that road again.

I am all into sad songs about rainy days. I am in my element listening to songs with melancholy melodies. I gravitate towards Minimal Wave, Dark Wave and Gothic Rock, but this album didn't work for me. (edit: I am not saying that Giles Corey plays in those styles. I wouldn't know how to classify him as an artist, or them as a band. Discogs has Giles Corey tagged with Genre: Rock, Folk, World, & Country Style: Acoustic, Shoegaze, Folk)



a very neutral 5/10
