Neon Bible

the take

This album single-handedly got me through my first year of college. I was quite sheltered all things considered, and getting the reality check of life as an adult made me depressed and cynical. Neon Bible matched that mood perfectly, but underneath the bitterness lies a distinct desire to become something beyond the limits of society. It's an album that soundtracks hatred for the world that is, and dreams of what it could be.
