I'm kinda afraid to listen. Tell me it'll be OK, Pagan.

I like "The Sky Is the Limit" a lot at first listen. . . pastoral and pretty, yet strangely grandiose too. As all songs about hell should be.

"Letting Me Out" isn't seeping in yet.

I think this is a taster for a refraction of Paradise Lost song cycle he's busy with, so in that context the music may just prove his opus. Sounds like Hart.

Letting Me Out sounding pretty generic to these ears. Channeling Buddy Holly? Sky Is The Limit quite lovely.

Quick: 2541 - prime or not!

8.0 in Pitchfork this morning, for what that's worth. I am intrigued.

I am also intrigued, even though I am ashamed to admit that I haven't purchased anything Grant has produced since Intolerance. I really didn't like what I heard by Nova Mob and just never returned to his other solo stuff. But after seeing him here a couple of years ago with about 30 people, I kinda feel like I owe him at least the purchase of this album.

I rediscovered Nova Mob when The Last Days of Pompeii was reissued last year. Better than I remembered it being. The self-titled NM album is more straightforward rock.

Good News For Modern Man didn't do much for me, but Hot Wax is quite good - definitely in line with Intolerance. I haven't heard the new one yet, but I'm dying to.

Holy shitz! Letting Me Out sounds like David Bowie meets Buddy Holly, and Is The Sky The Limit is melancholy and majestic at once. I'm glad he's adding to the canon. Hope Dante's ghost gives him a thumbs up. I'm excited about Grant Hart's career again! This is a definite buy.
