Badly Drawn Boy - Disillusion
Review by Carlos Alberto Vergez Borrero
Disillusion, the fifth studio album by Badly Drawn Boy, is a striking departure from the artist's earlier works. Released in 2004, this album sees Damon Gough (aka Badly Drawn Boy) move away from his signature sound of acoustic guitar-driven indie folk towards a more polished, electronic sound.
The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "One Plus One Is One," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Disillusion is a cohesive body of work that explores themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning in life. Gough's lyrics are introspective and poetic, and his vocal delivery is emotive and sincere.
The album's standout tracks include "Year of the Rat," a haunting and atmospheric ballad, and "Take the Glory," a soulful and introspective song that showcases Gough's talent as a songwriter. The album's title track, "Disillusion," is a poignant and melancholic song that explores the disillusionment that comes with growing older and realizing that life is not always what it seems.

I've just been arguing with some weirdo because I left some bird food out for my family of #crows
Apart from being bio-degradable it is food for wild animals. What is the matter with people.
