alas, again the straws need not be grasped, for i have no need of them, but they represent a granular modicum for which i suggestively point out the planks in thy own eyes

as for anode that is just rude, take not from man his treasure

ngl i kinda feel dirty putting this at a 5 when 10,000 Days is the more emotional album but that's a 4.5 for me

I'm just gonna copy/paste my comment from the 10,000 Days thread, as it still explains why I have that one at a 4 and not any higher:



"I still stand by what I said earlier, which is that the Wings for Marie and Rosetta Stoned suites should have been swapped. Having Wings for Marie so early on is really detrimental to the flow of the album, as the rest of the tracklist feels so much more anticlimactic"

So many things wrong with 10k days and it's not the track ordering imo

And I feel like that's a really weird response to my complaint, lol. But to each their own

Honestly, I like the Wings placement. Feels like a Side A climax heading into Side B of the record.

10k days peaks waaaay too early agreed, even if I love Right in Two sooo much

whole album also feels sanitized to me, and I don’t just mean subject matter I mean sound

Make it 8 songs and drop some transitions and its a very different conversation IMO, but 10k days simple does not earn an hour and fifteen minute runtime. Fifty to fifty-five minutes would have worked much much better. Also Rosetta Stoned is poop

semi-hard disagree. I genuinely couldn't imagine Wings pt. 1 being anywhere other than track three. Two heavy bangers and then a beautiful track that starts mellow really keeps you on your toes in a good way. The whole Wings suite starting after Rosetta Stoned would make the album sound more lopsided than it already is.



That said, I could sort of see Pt 2 moved later on in the album to create more of an epic close to the album, like after Intension. Love both pt 1 and pt 2 but I don't see any significant reason for them to be back to back

“but I don't see any significant reason for them to be back to back“



no they need to be juxtaposed, it’s one song in two parts. wings for marie builds into 10000 days. a reprise could be cool, could make it the central melody of the album

remember when people on the internet thought they broke the universe by playing Viginti Tres followed by Wings pt 1, all played over Wings pt 2

If you think Rosetta Stoned and Right in Two are lame, I just can't with you.
