lyrics
Just a sliver
Slight, still figure
Moving upwards
Growing smaller
You can't follow
Too weak, too shallow
Stripped wings too frail
To bare you upwards
Tin Angels circle, embrace you
Bright fingers crawl up, caress you
White hot, they'll dig in, they'll burn you
Black, burned, black
Bright red, they're watching your eyes shift
Down, down, down
But don't think about that now
But are you leaving soon?
Look away don't think about that now
But are you leaving soon?
Shut your mouth, don't think about that now
But are you leaving soon?
But are you leaving soon?
Just a sliver
Gray-black figure
Like a storm head
Angel of death
Watch you wallow
To meek to follow
Tail tucked inward
Hunched, bowed figure
Pious hands high
Beg for mercy
Hurtling higher
Growing smaller
Tin Angels circle, embrace you
Bright fingers crawl up, caress you
White hot, they'll dig in, they'll burn you
Black, burned, black
Bright red, they're watching your eyes shift
Down, down, down
But don't think about that now
But are you leaving soon?
Look away don't think about that now
But are you leaving soon?
Shut your mouth, don't think about that now
But are you leaving soon?
But are you leaving soon?
But are you leaving soon?
But are you leaving soon?
But are you leaving soon?
Slight, still figure
Moving upwards
Growing smaller
You can't follow
Too weak, too shallow
Stripped wings too frail
To bare you upwards
Tin Angels circle, embrace you
Bright fingers crawl up, caress you
White hot, they'll dig in, they'll burn you
Black, burned, black
Bright red, they're watching your eyes shift
Down, down, down
But don't think about that now
But are you leaving soon?
Look away don't think about that now
But are you leaving soon?
Shut your mouth, don't think about that now
But are you leaving soon?
But are you leaving soon?
Just a sliver
Gray-black figure
Like a storm head
Angel of death
Watch you wallow
To meek to follow
Tail tucked inward
Hunched, bowed figure
Pious hands high
Beg for mercy
Hurtling higher
Growing smaller
Tin Angels circle, embrace you
Bright fingers crawl up, caress you
White hot, they'll dig in, they'll burn you
Black, burned, black
Bright red, they're watching your eyes shift
Down, down, down
But don't think about that now
But are you leaving soon?
Look away don't think about that now
But are you leaving soon?
Shut your mouth, don't think about that now
But are you leaving soon?
But are you leaving soon?
But are you leaving soon?
But are you leaving soon?
But are you leaving soon?

Ultra Gown
by Zefs Chasing Carasupported by 6 fans who also own “The Kettle”
All the different riffs and emotions conveyed by them really made me feel something, but right at the end of Salad it's when I truly felt something spectacular and could not contain my emotion. Beautiful work. It needs more listeners.

Certainly a controversial direction for the band, but this album ultimately rests as my favorite from TTNG. The technical mastery of their previous albums is still present here along with some very thought provoking and philosophical lyrics. I may not always agree with the lyrical messaging, but this is an album which rewards careful listening.

Stab the New Cherry
by The Bulletproof Tigersupported by 6 fans who also own “The Kettle”
This album cover is stabbing my eyes. Seriously though, it's really good. Whacky songtitles and pure technical math rock at its finest - it will mostly guaranteed put you in a good mood. Now give them a shot and the 2 Bucks they deserve.

Throwing mathcore, emo, and ambient into the mix, Estonia's Kaschalot push progressive rock's multitasking approach to its limits.

I wasn't sure if I would like this album - but yes, I do! The acoustic guitar is the leading instrument here, and things really get brilliant when the classical chamber ensemble joins in.
