the s/t is actually really good. It's a little derivative, and they definitely hadn't found their style yet, but the songwriting is excellent. Cold Girl Fever in particular.

it's okay
like I totally get how people think it's really great, I guess it is, but I just don't see anything new it brings to the tale for the band and they execute that sound so so well / better elsewhere so *shrugs*

is that in reference to the s/t? No, you're right, it's easily their worst, but there's a few nice songs on it that I come back to occasionally when I want some less ornamental national ya dig?

yea
and that's fair that's fair
I go more to their recent stuff when I'm going for tracks that are non-LP a la So Far Round the Bend, Exile Vilify, Rylan

This is pretty much everything that needs to be said.

Portal 2 is p good too.

I'd flip boxer and alligator, but the tier structure is otherwise appropriate.

I've learned like six tmoe songs on guitar in the last week. They're so fun.

Just chord-y ones, though. Can't fingerpick like that guy.
