    the comment is reminiscent of a retorting artist who is trying to enrapture the idolisation of a once-revered and intrinsically written (?) set of compositions, whilst not retaining the ideas and principles to propel any future incorporations (?) into the next iota.

    "I rather enjoy a lot of Bardo Pond albums, but they all sound so similar. In the 15+ years they've been around their sound has hardly changed at all." Guess who will complain about the band changing sound and direction.

    My copy definitely says "The Cawl" on the insert, but since the Southern/Latitudes site seems to call it "The Crawl" everywhere else I'm gonna hazard a guess that that is a typo.
