I had written three ill-formed paragraphs about how emo was my musical center and how this album, with its brave questions and ruminations on spiritual matters and of lead singer Jesse Lacey’s spiritual shortcomings, as well as the band’s excellent mastery of mood, was one of the biggest influences in my own songwriting. But I can never not say too much about this album. It changed my life, and there’s hardly any way to write eloquently about that.
