I wanted Harry Patch and Spectre on it so I tried to them in the most logical places in this one. I did a similar thing with all the King of Limbs songs; Pots posted a nearly identical tracklisting for all of them in this thread or Doof's recently, with Feral next to Supercollider for a perfect segue.

First couple of listens I thought Present Tense was average at best....Now it's my favorite on the album

Oh, I see. I didn't know Harry Patch before I saw you mentioning it and so I listened to it. God. Some Beethoven meets R.E.M vibes that I'm catching on that one. I absolutely loved it, albeit it needs some remastering. Was that song released as a b-side of some album of theirs, on a compilation? Or is it just a throwaway, or something they made for some charity thing?

Present Tense is gorgeous, y'all. GOAT material.

It was all about the last surviving WW1 veteran shortly before his death:

When I first heard Ful stop, I thought it was untouchable but the more I hear Present Tense, the closer it gets to being #1. Then I hear Ful Stop again and I'm like, damn it, It might end up in a 2 way tie for favorite. Love this album!!! My soul needed this right here.

Hell yeah, Titan. Look at that, a Cowboys fan and a Giants fan actually agreeing on something! Had to be Radiohead. Ha-ha, yeah, Gleam knows what's up! I'm chilling, swimming In this Moon Shaped Pool, with no plans of leaving anytime soon.

God damn, the first half of this is so richly layered and atmospheric, especially Decks Dark. So many subtle sounds here and there.

All of it is unbelievably rich. The tones on this are exquisite!

The last few comments pretty much summarize how I feel about this. Layered, subtle, and rich are all ideal descriptors for the record.
