The strings are also mixed way too long and the build up at the end goes nowhere. Song sucks

Soooo I listened to this without those two tracks and I liked the album a lot more...





...



So many things were right with it. Daydreaming worked as an excellent opener, Identikit became the centerpiece of the album, and the last 4 songs didn't seem like they had bad flow anymore... even Desert Island Disk seemed less unnecessary somehow.

It just worked better when it dropped the two "epics" imo

I really just cant understand where you're coming from at all in regards to ful stop. It's possibly my favorite song here next to daydreaming and present tense

I just feel like Ful Stop is Radiohead being predictable and boring...



I love Daydreaming and Present Tense though

"top 5 daydreaming, present tense, identikit, true love waits, decks dark"



That's 3/5 of my top 5 though I'd replace Identikit and True Love Waits with Tinker Tailor and The Numbers

quite easy to argue that it's three steps up from Identikit tho

see the problem is Identikit doesn't actually crescendo but it pretends it does, it throws in the Ed bit at the end for something different and cool but the song doesn't actually build up to it any way, matter of fact it's essentially the same few vocal melodies repeating over and over on the same basic backing track

I don't think you're reaching too far about the concept but I just don't see how the music really mirrors it at all, the song goes through pretty much no significant changes and the big bits like Ed's guitar bit and the choir on "broken hearts" sound click-and-dragged in from somewhere else imo

"burn the witch isn't bad per se, i just really think the production on the bass and strings sound out of date"



they deliberately have an antiquated texture to them, same as the brass in Life in a Glasshouse

The strings still could have been mixed better, whereas the brass on Glasshouse was mixed just fine

@Toad yeah fair, same wit you. I feel like there's a great track in there somewhere, for me it just got lost along the way
