Just a reminder: A.I. IS CREEPY!

This is when Win's luddite "society was better when we all played stickball in the street" shtick started to get annoying. He pulled it off later for The Suburbs but after that it was horrible.
It works on Funeral because there's actual storytelling involved; Tunnels has some of the most gorgeous imagery ever written in a rock song. I don't care how much hate the album gets, Funeral is an absolute diamond.
Tunnels top 5 song oat
I just think the overall atmosphere is less melodramatic and whiny. Win has always been hit or miss but his working-man storytelling somehow works for me on Neon Bible. That and the arrangements I think are their best. Faster tempos, some cool ass organs, a little darker in places
actually sounds more funereal in spots than Funeral
The best song on the album (No Cars Go) is just as melodramatic as anything on Funeral.
Did 2 things this week, finally watched Michael and listened to Jackboys 2. Michael was entertaining but it kind of felt like an AI movie in a way. Jackboys 2 was better then expected, at least Travis puts out a good attempt at supporting his label.
