really? That song gives me a Bowie meets Joshua Tree U2 era vibe.

the overly treblelly production takes some getting used to

^ Ive never thought of that before but that is fucking true

my favorites on Alligator are Mr. November and The Geese of Beverly Road

Album Rating: 4.5

I'm the new bluuuuuuuue blood



Eno: All the Wine. listen to the intros back to back

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

yeah the guitar sounds a lot similar, but the vibes are like total opposites.

Album Rating: 4.5

well yeah I mean the songs are competely different on a lyrical level too



just as far as notes and rhythms go I think there are similarities

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

I think All the Wine is a sarcastic lament about alcoholics feeling invincible, when in all actuality they are fragile, as Beringer knows. Not that far off from the morose theme in Jesus

Album Rating: 4.5

^that's a good point

Album Rating: 4.5

lit up and all the wine are the 2 best songs on alligator

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

ehhh I don't find it to be sarcastic, in fact it seems like even though it hints about the fragility, it sounds like the narrator really feels empowered and believes in his alcohol consumption



the doubt comes with boxer ;)
