Savage is turning out to be an album of two halves for me... I'm finding the back half to be a little on the weak side.

I didn't know he had 3 daughters!! Good on him. Been listening to Pure on and off and there are a few songs about the miscarriage of his son. Now that I have one of my own it's pretty moving, particularly "Little Invitro".

latest album is very much in the vein of the last one. I find it hard to rate this stuff since it's plenty impressive on a technical level but there's definitely an element of "heard this all before" which his shitty mid-80s albums didn't have. I'm guessing after a few listens where I can actually pick the songs apart I'll grow to like it more.
