True, they more often than not suit the atmosphere of the album perfectly also

I kinda see that as a good thing
Keeps the album from being too monochrome

Yeah in principle, but it feels kinda shoehorned here despite being a banger
I'm Not Afraid of You... probably has their most fun and diverse tracklist from what I've heard

Yeah “Cherry Chapstick” is one of their best noisy tunes and def prevents this being too monotonous.

I'm tempted to pick that one next (next as in next time I'm in the mood to check more YLT) just because its title is a 10/10

I haven’t heard I Am Not Afraid but don’t miss out on Summer Sun, that one is lovely and quite underrated.

are you doing a cast-against-type bit picking the blandest song here?
|
| |
Album Rating: 4.0
Not at all
It's really pretty and has a really strong melody and my ears were like "I like this one the most"
Also isn't Last Days of Disco the blandest? A slow indie song about remembering dancing to disco music is kinda an awful idea
|

I should revisit the tengo discography.

Last Days of Disco is overrated af and maybe my least favourite here, but I think that one stakes so much on its pacing that its blandness is more forgivable
Relistening to Madeline rn and this is quite cute - might have underrated it a bit just because that patch of the album is kinda hmm. Still not quite in the top half, but will agree it's got too strong a melody (esp compared to other tracks here) to be bland
|
| |
"madeleine" and "tony orlando" r best
|
| |
"I fear your ratings Ghandhi"
No no, they have a great discography

Madeline ranks about right in the middle for me. This album is a bit bipolar for me, the songs are either like really amazing or just good/very good or kind of dull (Disco is indeed one of the weakest), but Madeline is the only one that's kind of "merely" excellent.

for some reason when the guitar intros the second part of "madeline," as in: "You always kept me waiting / Somehow I never seem to mind," it's so stirring. just a perfect lil progression. reminds me a bit of "the lie and how we told it," which is a ICHTHBAO highlight in turn

From my exp this band is 75% dull and 25% great, so this album having a 50:50 ratio is a p good reflection
