That's what sparked my thought, but I can see similarities.

@Kalkwiese Lightbulb Sun was of the first PT albums I fell in love with, especially because of Shesmovedon. 4 Chords is also very good to me. The one I have sometimes trouble with (sometimes, I repeat), is Last Chance... because of the speaking part. The rest of the song is great, though.

@Mythodea: Damn, it was my first one as well! I heared people complain about Last Chance being a little noisy in the beginning, but never about the speaking sample, si that's an interesting take. I really like that song, never had any problems with it tbh. It's interesting how the lyrics are about some childhood nostalgia thing and the sample is about this religious cult thing. I wonder what Wilson's thoughts on putting both into one song were.

4 Chords however just feels out of place for me. And while I don't hate it, it's definitely far below the quality we see on the other songs there.

I actually Love the audio of the cult leader. It fits the music really well



I've always found Signify to be overrated here. It's still good, but In the bottom half of their discog for me

It's a mock song anyway.



Last Chance noisy? Nah. Also, the synth's additions on that song are just tasty.

Signify really gets going after the first four songs. Waiting Phase 1 & 2, Dark Matter, Intermediate Jesus, Every Home is Wired, and Idiot Prayer are amazing.

Last Chance... is one of my favs, the second half is absolute bliss. I don't mind the sampling, but it'd be even better without it.

Overall I slightly prefer this to DW, but nothing on here touches that album's t/t or Arriving Somewhere.

I don't speak the slang. Is Deadwing better, is it worse?
