This might top TDAG for me.

It was crafted with the effects of future time in mind. As in, it's awesome and mysterious when I first heard it but even better after hearing it after months or years have past.

For me it's just a nostalgia machine. I still remember seeing the Facebook post for LP5 vinyl pre-orders and not being able to get one because they were sold out less than two hours after the post (and I was at work and couldn't do much about it, unfortunately). I was bummed and off from work a few days later when everyone started getting the entire album on one CD shipped to them. I was scouring the internet for leaks for like 3 hours, heard a snippet of a stream on a private facebook group - then it became available on their website. After 8 years of waiting it was just a feeling of pure bliss to hear the band playing new songs. I couldn't believe it then (and still can't now) how they triumphed over unrealistic hype and expectations to create an album that goes toe-to-toe with Deja/TDAG/Daisy. They topped off their career with a diamond of an LP, saving their best for last. Perfect discography.

This and Daisy have always been tied for 2nd, basically equal opposites (mellow vs chaotic). Lately I've been wondering if TDAG isn't my 3rd favorite behind those two, pushing them up to a tie for best.

Going through the same thing Sowing. SF and Daisy feel like more focused projects, and I think they're more "fun" to listen to. Both are impeccably paced. TDAG is just so long and exhausting, I can't remember the last time I listened front to back. I still think it's a near-perfect record, but as I get older some of the lyrical content isn't hitting as hard as it did when I was in college.
Still can't beat that bridge in Not The Sun though :')

I agree with that assessment. TDAG is the better "work of art" but Daisy and SF are the ones I spin on a regular basis when I'm not looking to have some kind of emotionally exhaustive, poignant life-changing experience. Because let's face it, there's a time and place for that, but it can only remain that affecting for so long.

there's a time and place for that, but it can only remain that affecting for so long.
this happens with all my 5s; i listen to them a whole lot for a good while and they're super impactful over that initial period of obsession but then they fall out of rotation and i dont revisit them that often. which is not to say that i grow out of these records cuz when i do return to them, they can still hit hard and i always get a good sense of why i was so enamored with them in the first place. but i have found that i revisit records that i scored with a 4.5 or lower more often than the ones that i've given 5s to. not sure why that is exactly; the "emotionally exhaustive" thing is def on the right track tho.
i remember laura stevenson did an interview once where she said she doesnt listen to her favorite album of all time (in the aeroplane over the sea) that often anymore and it's reserved only for special occasions. i treat my 5s the same way (coincidentally aeroplane is also my favorite album of all time).

Yeah I get that totally. Most of my favorite albums aren't the types that I'd play 24x7 because they evoke an emotional response that doesn't always fit whatever I'm doing. I might listen to TDAG once per year these days.

Feel that. You have to mentally prepare yourself before experiencing the emotional poignancy of the truly greatest songs ever written.
Songs I listen to more frequently tend to be songs I can turn my brain off to and just get into the flow of it, without focusing directly on the song. Stuff I can “vibe” to as the kids say.
