Second half is where all the meat and potatoes are. Better than the first imo.

I love me some meat and spuds (with generous lashings of gravy obvs) but is this a good or a bad thing in this context? 🤔 Odd use of that phrase.

‘spotify radio be like "have you ever heard chapters by sweet trip" for literally every band’

Lol, it does that. Dillinger are the one for me, Spotty recs me ‘em any time I listen to anything ‘heavy’ and/or ‘experimental / mathy’ - which is often. It doesn’t have to make sense apparently.

I’m just saying the bulk of the interesting musical moments on this occur in the second half. First half sounds almost like a stereotypical Sweet Trip as imagined by fans (Chapters being the best example of a fan service track, even uses chords they’ve used before). Second half is full of post rock / experimental epics. Huge sound and amazing way to end off the album.

Now note I kind of like the predictable nature of the first half, Prefab Sprout esque in some of its execution. However, the second half wins because of the sheer large volume of emotional musical moments. Polar Equals and the end of Eve Foolery Mill Five are triumphs of sound. They just get gigantic sounding in the 2nd half as far as the production goes.

Chocolate Matter and Sept got some similar progressions goin on, too tired to break it down properly (and Chapters is good fanservice, if a little cheap over repeats, kinda like dark souls 3 so who cares lol)

Lol m'bad I was spangled and too dazzled by them pretty pretty 7ths to care about silly things like major and minor
Try Ebmaj7 into F into Gm11/F, with capo on 1. Nice progression there - the transition into F sounds great on Chapters with all its extra layers, but I think it risks getting a bit plain on solo acoustic, so slide it up to Gm11 before it overstays its welcome

Yeah agreed, if it ends on the Gm11 I add a lead in on the high e string to bring it back round (hit the A fret around halfway through the bar and then slide it up to Bb at the very end)
Your way works nicely too, could also throw in a Dmi7 in between the F and Ebmaj7 if you wanna be extra daydreamy (bit cliche though)
Kid A got some weirdo chord progressions going on and is therefore better

Yeah but Morning Bell is two minor chords that have zero business being anywhere near each other doing unholy things
