Yeah, I went into this year saying that FP would be the album of the year, but now that it’s almost over, I’m not so sure at all… I thought the album didn’t evoke much emotion from me. When i listen(ed) to older OM, past all the dancing/drugs/debauchery, I was comforted by his lyrics, or hurt by them, or at least felt something. WIth FP, however, I just never connected. But the music is still good and it’s probably top ten. Just not #1.

Tangible emotions? Kind of like “trying to keep my parents together, and through their chaos there was such pressure to score high, so I had to drop it, as if I stood a chance after my uncle’s suicide, everybody looking at me to succeed him as the family’s golden myth while my identity mutations were being dosed by books and all the drugs. I tried to prove I was brave, but I was so afraid.”

False Priest won’t equal Hissing Fauna, but you can’t expect him to write an album anything like it again. If he did you’d say he was trite.

I can’t tell if I love this or I hate this. I probably will just forget about it.
