"The title track begins with a very distinct guitar melody, and it is quickly overlapped by another, more tragic riff as the drums play forcefully in the background. Everything about this song is excellently done, from the main melody, which captivates and holds you, to the synthesizers that give the song the same distant feel as the previous song, to the vocals by Lars that are delivered with passion and perfection. About midway through, the song switches gears and breaks down into a tune that is quieter and well written, before a sorrowful piano theme takes over to complete this wonderful song."

Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu
