Fucking saddest record of all time.
That being said, i also believe (along with many others), this is one of the greatest records of the last 10 or so years. Bad Diary Days is what every shitty ass country song tried to write about but failed. Mind you, i have on several occasions thought about blowing my brains out to this record. I fucking guarantee you i am not the first. So i warn you, if your having a bad day DON'T PUT THIS RECORD ON. You will end up with your head in an oven. Enjoy :)

So this album is to me the best Elbow album in existence, however my bf maintains Cast of Thousands is superior. Granted he is totally wrong, but i suppose to each their own. First 4 songs on this record, are depressing and chill as fuck. Honestly, you cant get much further in the rabbit hole then listening to Pedro the Lion.
