Having not been a huge fan of the Elucid record, choosing Mount Eerie's excellent portrait of grief was a no-brainer here. However, one drawback of A Crow Looked At Me is that it's so intense that I almost never want to listen to it. So I avoided revisiting it for this round, but I will if it faces an album that I like a comparable amount later. _________________ Join us in the canon game :) / Add me on RYM

I agree with this. Thought it as a masterful album. But like you, I don't want to feel the grief.
I listened back to The Crow, an album I respect highlight for its lyrics but not so much musically, and I still have the same opinion: it certainly deserves a place in my 2017 top chart but not in the highest ranks; As I already didn’t like the Elucid album in the play-ins it is clear which one wins.
Although A Crow Looked At Me now doesn't have the same emotional impact on me as that first listen that almost had me in tears it's still a one of a kind album that's in my 2017 chart so Mount Eerie over Elucid for me.
