I got this album when it came out. The year was ending at the time so lots of dark cold nights. I listen to this on the way to and back from work lots of times. 2013 winter was very rainy.
What I like most about this album is it is about Eurydice. Or influenced by them. It's my favorite Greek legend/myth. I am also big on the underworld and like he idea of exploring the caves and all the spooky things down there.
The title track is very brooding. Menacing too. I really like it. Quite long as well with lots of metaphors about TV. Songs like 'We Exist' and 'Flashbulb Eyes' are all about being alienated as well and have some cool drums. 'Normal Person' is perhaps my favorite on the album as it is like I can relate to it. The lyrics and the loud bit is very cool as well. When the girls sing on that song it is amazing.
While the album is fairly strong the first half is so much better than the second. 'Afterlife' is the only song which sticks out there. It has nothing is amazing as the part where the world opens up in 'Here Comes the Night Time'. While The Suburbs was a better album there is still plenty on show here.
