I really really like this album, but i do feel it's album you need time for, you need to listen to it more than once to appreciate it fully.
Again, it seems to be one of those albums which doesn't live up to the first (Funeral), on first listening, on second listening it comes out of it's shell and amazes. It's a quite a dark album and tends to verge on depressing at points.
The songs:
My body is a cage- easily my favourite song on the album. It's different from many other songs out at the moment and the lyrics "my body is a cage that keeps me from dancing with the one i love but my mind hold the key" are lyrics most can relate to.
Black Mirror- a whirl of guitar and violin, which shows its true colours after a couple of listens and has a delicacy which is rare today.
Neon Bible and Intervention- 2 political songs the latter a memorial to Iraq war victims.
Bad vibration- funeral drums and wave crash noises make this song very powerful.
I think this album is definately one to buy, and i cant get over "my body is a cage".
