    It's more interesting than enjoyable. Honestly, I loved the previous single, "Burial Ground." That song was a return to form of Colin Meloy earworm songwriting reminiscent of Andy Partridge.

    I think V is the most accessible of the Morse era. "At The End Of The Day" is filled with ear worms and a great emotional section. On the other hand, Snow is a tour de force of absolute cringe.
