That song is great. Feels a bit incomplete, but the melodies are fantastic.

Most of this is honestly forgettable.

yeah identikit and decks dark are the only ones that arent. there are still some other good ones but in comparison with their other songs in the same vein they are eclipsed and forgettable

"Most of this is honestly forgettable"

kinda but

I thought the same until I listened to some of the more "monotonous" tracks individually a few times and got a handle on their melodies and whatnot

now when I listen to the full thing, it's really not as one-note as I initially felt like it was

Umm, Ful Stop? That and Identikit are the only truly memorable tracks for me.

Why does everyone like Identikit so much? The second half is rubbish.

Agreed ash. Non-immediate =/= forgettable

"the last 4 songs of this album are so one note homogenous they literally obscure each other into one long forgettable song... the first half of the album bounces around like a spastic colon and then it settles for the last 4 songs as this super random mess of monotonousness"



So you resent the first half for operating on stark contrasts rather than aesthetic unity... and when it locks into a slower place after Identikit, bringing you your precious In Rainbows-style homogeneity, you still hate it? Bruh I don't know if you've stopped to think about this (in fact it is fucking obvious you haven't) but that makes zero sense whatsoever

Oh my god. Love you Poly, but shut up. There is more to a record than simple "on paper" linear one dimension pacing methods. Saying that you don't like the first part of a record because it jumps randomly from one song to another, then saying you dislike another part of the record for feeling too homogeneous IS NOT hypocrisy. It may sound so on paper, but that's just a fallacy argument, it's all based on it's application. Both complaints make sense, and just because their aesthetically polar opposites does not make them contradictory in the slightest.
