[kj] It's here

I loved The Raven King at first - might well have been my favourite track on the album.  I don't think I'm tiring of it as quickly as Neil, but there are definitely some much stronger tracks.

Ah, laughter and argue, ever the same...

Tiring quickly of Raven King - feel like I'm being ordered to get all dewey-eyed and wave
my lighter in the air. Appreciate the sentiment and all, but its all a bit gloopy sickly sweet.
Whereas the brutality of This World Hell is fast growing on me - listen loud on headphones,
it gives me the chills.
Currently playing the album with Endgame dropped and Kali Yuga in
its place - perfect. Kali Yuga has some of the best Big Paul flourishes of all the new
material. Without Endgame stinking up the place, its in their top 5 albums no problem.
