A little better Conrad - but it's still a bit awkward; I think the following is the problem:



She seems more interested in exploring the feelings that arise in times of conflict and finding the intimacy in war's brute force and broad strokes; "The scent of Thyme carried on the wind / stings my face into remembering / cruel nature has won again," Harvey sings in a ghostly boy-soprano range, effectively paring an enormous (and unsuccessful) military operation down to a painfully personal narrative on the elegant "On Battleship Hill".



That's one enormous sentence, and you can hear its back creaking when you start quoting Harvey's lyrics. Par it down a little, perhaps. The rest seems sufficiently effective to me, so good on you mate =)

I only listened to this once, but I liked it. I'll be sure to give it a few more spins just to see whether the hype is justified.

Thanks, Irving. I might try to rework it a little bit more.



Also, three negs and not a single explanation? D:

The review is probably the best I've read all day. It's not in the least bit neg-worthy. There are a few minor niggles, but Conrad's actually gone and edited them out - now that's diligence.

Did one last edit. It might have some typos since I did it on my phone, but I think it feels a tiny bit less clumsy.
