decided to 5 this after listening again.. "Squalor Victoria" is the weakest song by far, but the albums flows so well.. the Green Gloves/Slow Show combo is incredible

"Apartment Story" is my favorite so far, but the whole album is just so perfect

Squalor Victoria is terrifying live .. you definitely won't think it is the weakest song if you see them.

how. This has the best song ever (apartment story) and the rest of the album is tight as fuck.

I adore them for how they are so easily able to just throw such complex and important themes in the air and then brush it aside with gallows humour.

@lucidity I agree with you on squalor victoria it blew my mind live.

fuck this is an awesome band.

Actually on the deluxe edition of High Violet there is a recording of him doing the same vocals he does on Squalor live, but instead the song is England. Should definitely check it out, it gives me chills every time I listen to it.

sea agrees with me.

If you don't have a soul I can see not liking it.

...high violet is almost bad. It's like 3-3.5 tops. This is classic. 3/4 of the songs on hv do not deserve a relisten and this is my second favourite band.

high violet is painfully boring. It lacks the intimacy of this album and it lacks that pure unadulterated immaturity that makes alligator my third favourite album ever. High violet does nothing they haven't done before better. All the songs on it are replaceable with previous/ better songs.

I think High Violet definitely has some amazing songs. The second half in particular is breathtaking. That being said, it isn't as good as Boxer.
