Not sure what to make of the advice, "Start from a seed, boys, and the ambition will grow out later." -??? - Musically, this album is JUST that...ambitious. It's solid, interesting and compelling. (awsome drums and bass throughout, too.)
And lyrically? So much of what I hear in the Top 40 are songs and artists competing for "Best-Rhymed-Inanity-Sounding-Most-Like-Whichever-Other-Current-Teen-Idol-On-The-Charts".
Not so with "Bitter Suite". Alex Oliver's verse from "Swan" makes the point best: " Is your reflection just reflections/Of the way that you'd like to be?/Or is it just another picture/Of the damaged goods you see?"
Poppermost's Bitter Suite Swan Songs is original art...Not an ugly duck in the lot.
