Only Twin is one of the most...powerful first-listen songs I've ever heard

That's my least favorite song on the album. Wait till you get to the title-track.

I've listened through a couple of times now, whole thing rules face, title track is one of the best tho. Idk why I love Only Twin so much, but the general weirdness of it does something seriously special for me. Only song I don't get much is Sleeping Dogs - seriously cool, but wtf???

That's the other "slightly weaker" track for me but this is still one of my favorite albums ever. I'd probably rank it something like:



The Frame

Trail of Fire

An Old Friend of the Christy's

Commemorative 9/11 T-Shirt

Unfamiliar

Savant

Sleeping Dogs and Dead Lions

Only Twin

Am not sure how I'd rank it atm; it needs to sink in more, but I'd probs put Savant higher. What do you think of Voorhees?

I'd probably put it between Savant and Sleeping Dogs, but I tend to disregard it because The Frame ends the album so well.

Agreed, I dig it but don't consider it part of the album

Yeah it doesn't fit the aesthetic of the album all that well; it's more reminiscent of Effloresce.

Yeah, has a Saturday Morning vibe
Can't believe how consistent their discog is; Effloresce is a near5, Everybody Into Position is a solid 4 and this will probs be a 5. What's Self-Preserved like?

Self Preserved isn't very good.

Self-Preserved is definitely the weakest of the four, but I still think it's a solid four. The songs are a lot shorter on average and most of the songs don't build towards a bombastic climax.

Eh yeah I suppose it would have a bit more of a mainstream appeal but it's not exactly conventional or super catchy. It's worth checking out definitely.
