1* Given the inspiration for the album being a dead little sister, these lines in the title track of ''Crack the Skye'' are heartbreaking: "Please tell Lucifer he can't have this one/Her spirit's too strong"
2** The whole album is quite emotional, but the title track, "Oblivion" and "The Last Baron" stand out even above the rest of them. Even the most stoic listener is likely to be moved knowing the context of the album.
3** It can be particularly powerful if you've lost a close friend or family member to suicide - the whole album may cause you to bawl uncontrollably without warning.
4* Much of ''The Hunter'', which makes sense - it was partially based on the deaths of Brent's brother and their accountant's wife. In particular, the title track and "The Sparrow".
