“Let him who thinks he knows no fear look well upon my face” is one of those lines that’s so fucking raw that you think it’s from The Bible or Shakespeare or some cultured shit. But nah, it’s from this song about an indie wrestler who takes his gimmick too seriously.
Quite literally my favorite album out of the the Mountain Goats, the entire thematic approach & sound design combined with someone Darnielle was so fucking passionate about just makes for something a league above even other concept albums he’s done like Bleed Out.
