I just found it to be pretty lackluster. It's Such a Beautiful Day ****ing rules though.

EDIT - title track is really good. I'm glad I avoided everything that was released before I had a chance to listen to the album in full. Last edited by Cuthbert; 01-08-2016 at 10:45 AM. |

Yeah, I agree that it's on par with the Berlin albums.
I hope people won't crucify me for this, but I might even enjoy it a little more. While I do really like the instrumentals from that era, the division of vocal tracks and instrumental tracks on Low and Heroes weakened them as albums.

Well **** guys. The album takes on a whole new meaning lyrically when you realise it's about his cancer/death.
"I've got scars that can't be seen" "Something happened on the day he died" "Look up here I'm in heaven" "I'll be free. Just like that Bluebird" "Where the **** did monday go?" "The clinic called. The x-ray's fine" "It’s all gone wrong but on and on. The bitter nerve ends never end. I'm falling down" "I know something is very wrong The pulse returns the prodigal sons The blackout hearts, the flowered news With skull designs upon my shoes"
