I might be annoyed about it, but if I were a person of semi-prominence (I'm not) I'd like to think I'd accept that this sort of comes with the territory.

Honestly, if an unfamous poster was publicly called out, ilx would probably be way more willing to get the knives out (fairly or unfairly) than they were here. However, that is not a reason to have this discussions, which I don’t think was leading us to wisdom and was against the Socratic ideals of the board

there was the gawker drama a few years back, speaking of unfamous posters, but this is a bit different, in that this situation is not as cut-and-dried.

I like the new song more than most of the last album. Kinda a synthesis, stylistically, of the last few albums.

You know, I thought I needed a break after the last few records not really clicking with me but how am I not going to listen to a Ross Macdonald-influenced Mountain Goats record

This new track isn't quite grabbing me, though there's plenty to like about it--I figure it's a grower. I am already 100% on board for Dragon Noir, however.

is it just me or is there a weird edit at the very start of the first chord on sicilian crest?

<3 the engineer Matt Ross-Spang is just a genius dude. It has been interesting to read how people are talking about it being a "new direction" production-wise but in my mind I was just taking what I love about "Against Pollution" and trying to use it as a template for every song across the album-- this kind of tensile quality and space.
