I don't need album context for Alien tbh, stands strong for me on its own

I really wish I could give this a 4.2 because that 4.0 feels dumb

I also feel like The Alien, The Sunshine, and The Grocery could all have been made one track since they all use the same riff idk separating them feels a little redundant

'Still, Colly Strings and Hot One are the all-time feelers for this band'



You forgot Sleeper. I usually skip it.

"I also feel like The Alien, The Sunshine, and The Grocery could all have been made one track since they all use the same riff idk separating them feels a little redundant"



I don't think I'd have the same love for that run if it was a three-part suite or whatever. There's a fine line between "we don't have many ideas" and "we use ideas in multiple songs in different ways" and I think this lands on the right side of it. Reminds me of how The Receiving End of Sirens would use the same lyric in 3 or 4 different songs.



Grocery definitely made me a bit misty the first or second time around.

The Alien and Grocery both work well as individual songs so sticking all 3 together wouldn't be a great call



I'm biased though because I've got Alien in 2 different playlists

The Mistake is such an underrated song on here, especially that second half chorus.
