I'm noticing a pattern right now: A lot of the songs should have been cut short at least a minute if not more. The musical ideas don't justify the long running times and the songs would have benefited from being shorter in my opinion.

can't decide if I disagree on principle or if I think Sister is the better album for exactly that reason
probs the former because all the long tracks aside from Total Trash and ig Teen Age Riot are the best
+ check Sister lol

I'm at Candle right now but Teenage Riot (7 minutes long, should have been 3 minutes long), Total Trash (7 1/2 minutes long, should have been 3-4 minutes long), Hey Joni (4 1/2 minutes long, should have been 3 minutes long)

It worked with The Sprawl and Cross The Breeze though

Yeah, agreed with all three of those picks tbh. Candle is where the record really hits its groove imo

Wanna hear your thoughts on Kissability, Reef.



@dedex: "Girl in a Band" is a phenomenal book. Read it around the time it first came out. The end gave me a few issues with Thurston lmao

technically, but not really. They are often played separately live.

Yeah parts of this overstay their welcome a little, although overall I’m delighted at how much enjoyment I got from this as a whole. Don’t understand not liking Teenage Riot.

All the big prog rock epics have parts to them too where you could technically split them up into different songs. It was still designed to be listened to in one go though

Well if they're 3 different songs in all but the track listing, they're still 3 seperate songs. If I play you three completely different acoustic covers on just 1 phone recording, does it suddenly become one song?
