@SuchFriends-
Thanks for making me late to work, arsehole.
All in all, Hesitation Marks may be getting too much credit. The Fragile got the same consistent praise, but when sales declined, people started seeing it for what it was: two meh albums, with one great one spread out, sporadically, within its two hour duration.
Half of that shit at least deserved no better than B-side status. Still, "into the void" and "somewhat damaged" and "the Great Below" (aka "Hurt pt.2" aka "Something I can Never Have pt.3") are indicators of the greatness that could have been.
