Fucking agreed

They aren't
>>
>>61909480
If they just put Waiting for BM records and Holy Fucking Shit on the first half and take away No Food, they'd have a strong 9/10 album after abandoning the rest of the songs.
>>
>>61909523
Yeah, but every other song on the second half is weak. "The Future" (the song) is awful, nothing on the first half is bad.
>>
>>61909519
Both sides are equally inconsistent

Okay buddy :^)

>>61909651
What? Young Lust is a great cock-rock song, and deliberately so. ABITW part 1 is gorgeously atmospheric.

The first have as a great narrative that flows and has a conclusive end, as well as most of the best songs on the record. The second is an unfocused mess with few highlights and no real narrative until the end.

>>61909696
Fucking this so hard. There's nothing that appeals to me on the second half aside from "The Way Out Is Through". Everything about the first half is fantastic though.

>>61909480
Every album ever, basically

He couldn't even put it on one disc. Instead of making 2 discs that work as 2 separate discs, he made an album that should have been one disc and lazily split it into a double album.

It shows a lack of attention to detail. You either cut it down into one disc, or you record more material and make it work as two discs.

Not really hard.

So true. The first half was godlike but the second half falls off hard.

>>61909565
Dude Oh Comely is the worst song on the album.
>>
>>61909737
>unfocused narrative
That's one of the things that can be said as consistent throughout the album. Musically both sides are inconsistent and cockrock is not good neither are filler transition songs.

Pretty sure the point was to split the atmosphere of the record, not because it had too much material

Worked out fine tbqh.
