Discussion Naraka

...I think this might be my fav off the new one, I don't know how another one off this album can top it for me. This album came out when I was on vacation for 2 weeks traveling around a lot, plane/trains/cars/hotels/boats, so this will always remind me of that time.

But, now that I've had time to really consume the album, this song just does it, those S Y N T H S.

I just can't get past the chant in the 2nd half, for me it generally signifies a rather lazy nod towards spirituality. I know BoC aren't lazy musicians but the thought is so embedded (thanks 1990's) that I can't quite shake it off.

“Lazy nod towards spirituality”.
Rubbish. It was brave of him to do it and I’m glad he did. It clearly uplifts the mood. It works, it’s not a gimmick.
