They mended the fences and continued on with great stuff, but the end was near. It could be felt.
SY are worth hours, days, years of my life. They are worth travel, expense, collecting all their shit, and my undying love.

The second quoted paragraph I should not have to say I cosign with all my heart.
The first paragraph I humbly disagree with, and I take umbrage with "if you're being honest with yourself." Well then. Being 100% honest with myself, I think "The Eternal" is their best record since "A Thousand Leaves." As good as? No. But it's a light year or so ahead of "Rather Ripped."
