Was The Hunting Party and Living Things always this good?! The songs in those albums evoked an emotion I didn’t know I had. Is it because I’m more mature? Is it because my taste evolved? Those were peak LP and such a shame they didn’t get the recognition that they deserved. 10/10 albums through and through.

All the best everyone, and good luck.
Can we talk about how the requiem version not only fits the theme of the album but it also fits the lyrics so much better? The synwave, industrial, rock version that fits the apocalyptic lyrics to the song. I’m actually happy to be alive (see what I did there) to witness this masterpiece.

My longer journey to migrate has finally paid off. Wishing others good luck and all the best in their endeavour.
Did anyone not use their birth certificate in their application? What alternative did you use?
