band is defo that good and hmm I guess this isn't the worst start point; maybe go with Repetition for their posthxc years or Leaves for, uh, Leaves, but this is q a cool transition album

and yeah Natural Disasters is the business

bumped my rating for this one. it felt weird having it at a 3.5 considering this is one of my favorite bands ever

the second half here is really on point

Would give that a few spice points, but I can vaguely get behind it - however, idk if Swan would have worked anywhere else, whereas Disappoint already does

If it wasn't for the drone-y distorted outro I'd argue it can fit in quite a few places nicely. Disappoint however feels like an emotional catharsis and has a sense of finality to it that perfectly encapsulates the experience of the album as a whole

Hmmm yes, both are a little patchy but Repetition is also top-heavy and this has more grit. 3rd best Unwound bby

"Maybe this is better than Repetition hmm"

That's a no from me dawg. And we also seem to be forgetting that Fake Train>this ;)

The first two tracks and the whole second half here are absolutely on par with Repetition/Fake Train, but tracks 3-6 (if we count Pardon My French) are kinda meh by Unwound standards

I need to revisit their earlier material but I get the impression the band just went from strength to strength and this was a turning point of sorts - not that they necessarily ‘needed’ one, just a possible preference developing.



I love Repetition and this one might be nearly as good.
