kinda hated his earlier work, but listened to this one quite a few times, so i guess... progress :-)

I know this is daft but my enjoyment of the new album has been affected by reviews I've read. I've enjoyed the earlier stuff (Dagger Paths more than Engravings) and I read a couple of reviews from sources that I trust that said the new one was awesome. I gave it a few listens and thought it was OK but not that great. I persevered because obviously sometimes it takes a while to appreciate an album

I then read another review that said the album was actually pretty average. Now when I listen to it I'm thinking 'do I want to like this album more than I actually do because of good reviews that I've read, or am I not liking it as much as I would if I hadn't read that other review?' Like I said, I realise this is silly and I should just take the music as it is and not be affected by what I've read about it but I also know it's not really possible to listen to music in isolation (so to speak)

I think the moral of this is that I need to spend less time reading music journalism. Or something

dj kicks!!!!!!

I found a vocal track for the new cut, "Crow"
