hell, normally i'd be saying the same thing. intellectually - i agree. i'm still squaring it with my soul. i'm closer to the acceptance phase of that struggle than i was two weeks ago.

a tiny voice inside of me was desperately hoping for "the answer" but categorically different and previously unconsidered. and right.

i appreciate that this album is catharsis for some folks - it's not that for me. for me, it's a reaffirmation of my inner cynic/pragmatist.

both are okay.
