I read this article earlier. It's pretty spot on. I know I've been overusing the hell out of this word lately, but it really comes down to the album's empathy—it's just on a completely different level from much of what's out there right now.

I also liked the alien episodes a bit more, early on, anyway. This is quite the solid list, though. Space is so, so, so bad.

I'll think about it. It's not like I don't have something of an online presence between social media and working for that journal and what not, but I haven't decided if I'm totally comfortable revealing my identity (not that it's an identity worth revealing or anything, I'm just a grad student/ta/fiction writer) here.…
