this should have ended after Seen and Not Seen. Listening Wind

The descent into a dronier, darker sound literally makes the album work my dude

The album actually does get steadily more dreary in tone as it progresses. Seen and Not Seen to Listening Wind is a bit more of a jump than the rest of the album but from Houses In Motion onwards the album sounds like it's toning down in energy a bit anyways. Besides, Listening Wind is my favorite song from it.

alright, i'll keep them for now, this is just my initial butthurt reaction i suppose. i've been listening through the discog chronologically and these two are the first times Byrne has really slowed it down

There's a minor stigma towards the second half of the album in general. A lot of people tend to like the first half much more.
