On Crying Light, Antony does try to write songs in major key. Please consider key changes (usually, quite masterfully done, I must admit) on Eon, Epilepsy is Dancing, Kiss My Name, Everglade. So no, Crying Light is not really a more-of-the-same follow-up to I Am a Bird Now. Now, it is an album of lesser stature, that much is obvious -- but that's not the point.
