this is the closest I've ever felt to you on music stuff man. I actually like this album quite a bit. Though I honestly think that Leaves Outside The Academy is my favorite T solo album. Followed close by Psychic Hearts. That said, I keep checking out their post-SY work and none of it grabs me in any serious way. The best I can muster is "ah yeah it almost sounds like SY." There's certain bands where what made them perfect was the sum of their parts. The tug-o-war between each member to make this perfect diamond. And that was SY. At this point I'm even just hoping for new archival releases to keep me happy. It's honestly just sad to me. Again I like this album. But it's not what I really want.
