I’ve actually only heard Sit Resist, great album but maybe the worst snare drum on any modern recording

Nothing rocks my socks as much as that fill at the beginning of South Street after Your House Was Aglow.

the first album is so overlooked. Foreign Thoughts and Off With Their Heads can go toe to toe with anything here imo

finally spinning this again altho I'm borderline delirious but here's a couple takes:



with Slex on Roots being a highlight, it's lovely altho wouldn't quite crack my top 3 (Ash Wednesday, Here is Where and a tossup between River/South Street)



Youngbloods is just so obviously the worst song here lol. what if there was a basic-ass indie pop song in the middle of this super intense odyssey and Nicky sang it with no passion or feeling whatsoever? song has no business being on this album



the sequencing is my other major problem and prob why I threw a 3.5 on this, having an acoustic song every other song gets pretty tiresome. they're still a good listen but kinda start to blend together, especially Your House Was Aglow



album's really great and a bit better than I rated it, but In Excelsis Deo is still their best song, more specifically this version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9htrhVyuC0

Love how the drum fill at the beginning of South Street actually throws me up into the stratosphere coming straight after House Aglow
