...Shall—the ultimate tragedy of the album. Darnielle’s poetry suffers from a lack of any coherence; it’s unclear by the end whether this is supposed to be a concept album or not.

Just because opposites attract doesn't mean they attach--it's a lesson Tyler has taught before--and the link between these two is going bad even before they get to the altar. For the next 30 years or so, it's all touch...
