I‘m too emotional right now to write more than a few short lines, but - I loved The Spark a lot before reading this, and my love for this album has increased at least tenfold now. Same goes for my appreciation of Rou Reynolds, who‘s just an amazing person inside and out. I‘ll probably read this book many more times and still love it as much as I do right now. 11/10 would recommend if you love Enter Shikari and/or the Spark and/or amazing music with incredible and deep lyrics ❤️

Yhtyeen laulaja vaihto tähän albumiin paljon henkilökohtaisempaan lyriikkaan. Käydään läpi ahdistusta, ajatuksia poliittisesta tilasta (trumpin aikaan) ja menetystä.
Jos ei muuta niin kerronta an ode to jigsaw pieces lyriikoiden takana oli kyllä koskettava ja nosti kappaletta silmissäni(?) korvissani(?).
Näissä välillä kuvat voisi olla parempi laatuisia mut ihan sama oon ollu fanboy tai joku jo pitkään.
(Ehkä vähän ilmanen luku read tavotteeseen kun aiemmasta on tehty uusintapainos johon lisättiin tää kirja kokonaisuudessaan mikaan)

Great follow-up to 'Dear Future Historians', and like said book, I was simultaneously listening to the album whilst reading this book of lyrics and lore. Enter Shikari are an entity of the people and I think lots would socially, mentally benefit from an audio or visual exposure of them.

Would 100% recommend to any ES fan, but Roy writes with a wealth of political and social knowledge that pairs so well with his personal experiences. A must read.

Gives a very interesting insight into the album's lyrics, I definitely recommend it to anyone who wishes to understand what's behind the band's musical creativity
