    This is one of my favorite albums of all time. The first, middle, and last tracks are all written in the form of Elizabethan sonnets, and they weave a continuous story throughout the record. It’s a feat of songwriting as poetry that only John K Samson can pull off. I would love to see a re-release of this on vinyl!
