I'd probably rank it like this now tbh

Birdless > Dialogues > Canyon > Colored Out > Amaterasu > WIYW > Ore > Born Blind > Bask > Mitama > Northern > Sundials > Thurisaz

Really don't see what you find so special about that one tbh. Like, it's solid and all, but it's never a standout on here to me

The screams, the lyrics, the chorus at the end (where did all the lost minds go), the key change, the unexpected acoustic outro...what's not to like is the better question.

the key change in Bask definitely elevates it, but I can't put it in the same zip code as The Canyon

relistening to this



ya bask is definitely far from the best here. it sounds like if brand new tried to write like an imagine dragons song, which is definitely what the “LETS GET TO WORK” thing reminds me of yikes. rest of the gang vocals arent great either. otherwise it’d be a solid but unremarkable song aside from the bridge which is ok



colored out tho omg what a song

I like the "let's get to work" line personally, and Bask's composition in general (especially the end), but its lyrics are kinda corny to me at a lot of points and sometimes play against the dour mood of the music imo, just my take though



also good news, bubs, Colored Out is confirmed to be the next music vid from this

Will take the advice of starting at track 6. Still can't distinguish second half yet.

First half is definitely better than the second half, although Yume is amazing.

I'm half-inclined to upgrade "The Canyon" from "best song on this album" to "best song of 2018." it's top 5 for sure.

10. Sundials

9. Ore

8. Northern Orthodox

7. Yume

6. Bask

5. Colored Out

4. Mitama

3. Dialogues

2. Birdless Cage

1. The Canyon

I can appreciate Canyon/BC going 1-2, but Bask and Yume are so low :-(

the thing is I like Bask. A lot. It might be tied with Colored Out. But there's some stiff competition. Yume's second half is amazing but the first half doesn't do much for me. Honestly I might have to 4.5 this given how stacked it is.
