All year I've been trying to get into Antony and the Johnsons with the fan favorite I Am A Bird Now and his 2009 release The Crying Light and for the longest time I just couldn't enjoy his music. With an obviously talented vocal and lyrical ability, with gorgeuos muscianship to follow, the potential was obviously there but it was all just too overbearing to take. There was just so much soul, it felt overdramatic and corny. But after numerous listens I have been beginning to love the overdramatics and cinematic beauty that is The Crying Light and while it may not be the manyly music, and I probably wouldn't show this to my Rise Against whoring friends this will probably make my top 50 of '09 list. Finally!
