As a side note, I realize that I primarily review albums that are rather old, but I more do it to show what I like and the music that has helped or moved me the most. Enjoy!
This album has been practically a life saver to me. Isaac Brock's introspective lyrics and his jagged guitar get inside of my head and almost allow me to have conversations with myself because the music feels so relevant to real life for me. It is the perfect album to get me out of a slump and also to make me understand how beautiful life is no matter what it dishes out. Lines like "If life's not beautiful with all the pain, I'd rather never ever see beauty again," and "If it takes shit to make bliss, well I'm living pretty blissfully." Both of those lines are from the track titled "The View." He perfectly captures mortality, struggle, pain, and hardship and its place amidst the beauty of living life. As my friend once said, the words feel so good. Amen.
