The review has me as excited as ever, thanks for sharing, but a couple things….
the title track to Distant Satellites. This amazing song (as well as the closer Take Shelter) finally accomplish what We’re Here Because We’re Here” and Weather Systems fell short of: a satisfying climactic finish to the album.
If Internal Landscapes isn't a satisfying and climactic finish to an album, then I don't know what is. In fact, I'd say it is the most satisfying and most climactic song Anathema has ever released.
And a whole lot of 'hell no' from me, in regards to the reviewer's take on the recent direction Anathema has taken with their lyrics. Conor Flynes can take his complaints about "pseudo-spiritual love and peace" and shove them straight back up his goddamned, lousy, anal cunt of a mouth.
