The chorus on this new Navy Blue track is depressing. I love hearing Ka's voice on something new to my ears, but a lot of the stuff he was writing toward the end is really grim. I think The Thief Next To Jesus has a lot of his best writing on it, but it's his darkest work in my opinion. Even in Ka's grittiest works before Thief, I always heard hope through the pain. Like he was working through it. I don't hear that much hope in Thief. His tone even sounds more down, and his vocals even more hushed. I feel the same about this song Circa as well. It's a mind blowing verse, a great song, and that beat is the most Ka sounding beat I ever heard made by someone who isn't Ka. I've listened to it dozens of times already, and I'm about to run it back again. I love it, but it's sad. The truth can be extremely ugly, but if there's any quality in Ka's music that draws me to it more than anything, it's the sincerity. Lay it on me, even in your darkest hour. Damn. RIP to the greatest.

Thief is one of the most depressing albums in recent years across all genres
