this fucking album, i swear to god-

i cannot emphasize enough, i *sobbed* like a baby the first time i listened to Chords. i was fully expecting Blossoms to be my favorite track, then Chords came in and remined me that my parents are nearing their 50s. full ugly crying, it's right up there with Butchered Tounge in 'songs that hurt me every time'.

AND THE VOCALS!!!! THE FUCKING VOCALS!!!!! first time i played the entire album it was thundering and i swear on everything i love i Transcended humanity for 45m 28s, i wish i could thank the fanfic author who introduced me to this album but they deactivated their account months ago :( Ruin is such a banger song for a hurt/no comfort fic, this entire album is a goldmine for inspiration!

Hozier is still my undisputed favorite, but damn if The Amazing Devil isn't a close second <3

SCREAMS YES YES BLOSSOMS AND CHORDS ARE BOTH SO SIFHEIUGFORGFOE

ruin is definitely one of my top five favourite albums it's just soooo emotionally charged and like you said the vocals are like. soul-shaking

that unwanted animal and farewell wanderlust are fantastic too but ruin is The Album to me

i think the most relatable song would have to be drinking song for the socially anxious but my favourite is secret worlds and the calling makes me dissolve into a pile of emotional slop every time it comes on the slow buildup hits so hard

it's such a shame the writer deactivated :[ i can't claim to know their tastes but i imagine they'd be a big fan of christopher larkin and joe hisaishi. just an educated guess though
