Listening to Graveyard Mountain Home tonight for the first time in a long while. Just realized its the album's 10th anniversary this year, and I couldn't believe it. It feels like yesterday when that album was released. I've always ranked this album behind the OSI albums and the other Chroma Key albums in terms of my favorites (mostly because I love kev's voice/lyrics and they feel less prominent to me on GMH), but damn GMH has some great music and I really respect the creativity. I'm finding myself appreciating it more today than I did years ago.
How has GMH aged for you guys?

I would have to agree with you. Shine and GMH are in my last places, in my collection. The album is very good, if your looking for that story telling through music. I enjoy it alot, but like you said michael. Not much of his voice and lyrics are in the album. It has aged well for me. 10 Yrs for GMH, (HipHip Hooray, HipHip Hooray!)

Wow, different strokes for diffeent folks I guess, GMH is in my top 3 KM works. The first time I heard GMH was when I watched the bonus DVD of the 50's movie slow mo soundtrack thing, and may be why I dig it more. That is the *true* way to experience GMH imo.
for me the last three songs are some of Kevin's best work, ever.
True and Lost, so minimal, but so haunting, so effective. When the female voice overlaps w/Kev at the end, goosebumps every time! "You know it's gona get better, baby" Gets me every dam time!! So good
Sad Sad Movie, one of my top 3 KM songs, incredible. I like this version more than the Ghost Book version too, with the effects, and the voice-over in the beginning "He was on his way to getting well, but now his seat was empty" and "Any ideas where he might be? ... Runaway", along with the song lyrics, amazing. Just that moment of realization, looking back "I see that now". Perfect song

GMH remains my favourite KMo album. It's an album that's less about songwriting and more about the mood and atmosphere... it really takes you on a journey...
