sometimes it works but pretty much every song on ATP does it and that strikes me as formulaic and boring arrangement-wise. i still dig that album hard regardless.

i mean i like that song and obviously this album is a classic



but i've always thought that its chorus was the weakest part of this album. it just sounds a little bland compared to everything else that's going on here.

whats the chorus on that song? i dont think there really is one on that one, they just use a guitar lead.

i would consider 'i remember you well...' to be a chorus especially because the guitar lead just mimics the vocal melody

i always thought of it as a verse. even that song is more structurally interesting than anything on ATP though.

ya maybe but either way i still think it is the weakest part of the record



then again i really don't care too much about song structure. just gimme catchy choruses and i am happy.

Tom really likes singing about cops.



"He said there's cops in the alleyway"



"Neutral angels calling the cops"



"Go on and call the police"

Sun Hotel is the worst? blasphemy. It's one of the best for me, top 5 on the album.

I think Gates is my favourite. Saw these guys last night and they killed as always. Played 8 songs off this which was sweet.

Gates is best, agreed. Then Obituaries second.

pretty sure I gave my ranking for this at some point but it's constantly changing. every song rules besides Ava House, and that one is at least tolerable. top tier album

butt.

Never understood why some people don’t like Ava House. It’s so damn anthemic and memorable. They played it live last week and it kicked ass

Ava House is alright until you're there live, then it rules. Freedom Bridge is absolutely the weakest track on here
