antony and the johnsons: the crying light.

alright, well, we all know how excited i have been for the release of this album. i have been waiting for new antony and the johnsons since i am a bird now graced my ears almost three years ago. and now my dreams have finally been answered. yes, i know, antony i have downloaded a totally pirated copy of this masterpiece, but don’t you ever mind. i’ll still be first in line to get my real copy come january 20, but how could you possibly expect me to wait until then to download it and give it a listen? this album is the first one of the year that will definitely be a contender for album of the year. the crying light is everything i expected and more from my favorite contemporary artist. the delicacy is there. the exquisite lyrics are there. the longing and the yearing is there. the ache of wanting so much more is held so delicately in the vibrato. this album is perfect in every way, shape, and form. i really was quite worried that it wouldn’t live up to my expectations, but it honestly blew them away. how can one person possess such emotion? it’s amazing. it’s mind-blowing. it’s antony. i usually name the best tracks, but they’re all good. don’t download the pirated copy. just buy it. please. support such a great artist of our time.
