Antony and the Johnsons are back after their astounding album "I Am A Bird Now". No suprise, they are still in perfect form. Antony still has amazing vocals and the simple production is amazing.
The album's highlight is "Another World" which Antony mourns the death of the world by humans. It is so simple yet so effective, like the rest of the album. But really does Antony even need complex production. His voice itself is an instrument.
Another theme throughout the album seems to be nature, highlighted in the track "One Dove". Although at points these songs do het a little carried away with the nature theme. They are pretty effective.
Overall this album is amazing. It's not as gender-bending as the previous album, yet it is still beautiful. If you don't buy this album you will be missing out on probably one of the albums of the year.
Rating: 83/100 (Best Track[s]: "Another World" and "Daylight and Sun")
