@Cole yeah totally, these guys are just too pedal to the metal for me, like seriously can they slow things down for once?

yeah Matt definitely calmed down a lot post-Alligator but before that had a lot of energy on certain songs, and even after they still have a lot of energy on certain songs. You can't say songs like Sea of Love lack energy

Yeah that's understandable. It's their best album imo, always thought Boxer is boring in comparison

'Secret Meeting' gang.
'Mr. November' is great but, like, mid tier at best as far as this album is concerned.

agree 100% with both of you, also + 'Daughters of the Soho Riots' and 'Baby, We'll Be Fine' (though i realize i'm an anomaly on the latter).
