Agree with that Doof, I’ve even considered shuffling this. Would also be neat to neat to make a sequencing of this that organizes it by style, you could start with the most country stuff, move into the country-ish folk stuff, then the pure folk stuff, then indie folk, then the indie rock.

(3) to all of what Doof and Boney said. You can put this on in whatever way you please and it'll work beautifully.

"Spud Infinity" makes me want to eat all forms of potato

I'm 100% a proponent of listening to the full thing and not chopping this up (as others have mentioned, it betrays the spirit of the music), but I do like this personal playlist version for flow:



1. Change

2. Simulation Swarm

3. Time Escaping

4. Sparrow

5. Spud Infinity

6. Flower of Blood

7. Little Things

8. Red Moon

9. The Only Thing

10. Certainty

11. Blue Lightning

12. Wake Me up to Drive

13. Blurred View

14. Promise Is a Pendulum

15. Dried Roses

16. Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You

17. No Reason

I mean I’d listen in full every time if I could, I just don’t often have 80 uninterrupted minutes to listen to music.

"Like Simulation Swarm deserves better than to be sandwiched b/w 12,000 Lines and Love Love Love"

The more I listen, the more I think the track sequencing is right. Obviously they tracked it this way intentionally. And I've been more convinced after getting this on vinyl. Each side works so wonderfully on its own.

When I say celestial

I mean extra-terrestrial

I mean accepting the alien you've rejected in your own heart!

Yup, I think Spud is solidly my favorite here - not the “best” per se but it so perfectly encapsulates the feeling this whole album evokes for me. It’s so positive and life-affirming.

’Spud’ is definitely top three for me, I think the t/t more sums up the album as a whole and maybe gets the nod as my favourite.

The title-track is my favourite too, DoofDoof.

Currently have “Certainty” stuck in my head, that’s a real nice one. Makes me want to check out Buck Meek’s solo stuff.

Certainty is great but prefer the “darkness” of those verse harmonies to the chorus, which feels slightly perfunctory even tho it’s good (and a great song)

I’m a fan of short simple choruses like that (hence my calling it a refrain - that’s what it feels more like to me) but I also think it’s elevated by that contrast with the verses.
