"And if the love of a woman or two, dear, couldn't move you to such heights, then all I can do is do, my darling, right by you."

I came scarily close to never giving this album a chance. When I first started listening to it, within the first few seconds I stopped it and went to listen to something else because I hated her voice and didn't think I'd be able to put up with it for a whole hour. Then I changed my mind again and decided to just listen to the whole thing, whether I like it or not. Now it's in my top 10, and she's one of my favourite singers. I'd say I made the right choice. Only Skin is particularly incredible: I legitimately sometimes find myself amazed that that track even exists.

"Because when you see the face of God, you will die, and there will be nothing left of you, except the God-man, the God-woman, the heavenly man, the heavenly woman the heavenly child."

I'm not poetic enough to describe this album. It's like the remains of the universe at the end, after all has been said and done. Just nothingness stretching out in every direction as the final echoes of everything that once was finally fade out. I've only listened to it start to finish 4 times because of how much it requires you to put into it, but those 4 times were more than enough to bring it up this high. Also, it is well known that this album only has 4 tracks, so, for favourite tracks, I've chosen the named track sections.

Favourite Tracks: Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven, Gathering Storm / Il Pleut À Mourir (+Clatters Like Worry), She Dreamt She Was A Bulldozer She Dreamt She Was Alone In An Empty Field, Chart #3 [First added to this chart: 10/27/2016]

"Tuesday night at the Bible study, we lift our hands and pray over your body, but nothing ever happens."

This is an album that is inseparable from my memories of it: I first listened to it during what would have to have been the best week of my life, and it will always bring me back to that.

Favourite Tracks: Casimir Pulaski Day, The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades is Out to Get Us!, Concerning The UFO Sighting Near Highland Illinois, Come On! Feel The Illinoise!, Go! Chicago! Go! Yeah!, John Wayne Gacy Jr. [First added to this chart: 03/01/2017]

"Used to be one of the rotten ones, and I liked you for that."

The string of songs from Looks Just Like The Sun to Cause = Time is pretty much perfect. Not to say the rest of the album isn't excellent too, because it is.

"This is unlike the story it was written to be, I was riding its back when it used to ride me. We were galloping manic to the mouth of the source, we were swallowing panic in the face of its force."

While not as ambitious and epic as Ys, The Milk Eyed Mender feels like a sweeter, more sincere album.
