05.29.15 | Don't get me wrong, all these songs are perfect, but Abel always seemed a bit.. oversimplified to me |
AmericanFlagAsh
05.29.15 | 6 is 1
11 should be higher
Other than that, cool! |
NorthernSkylark
05.29.15 | it all runs together and never makes sense |
YetAnotherBrick
05.29.15 | true that |
TheWrenKing
05.29.15 | Impossible album to rank, case and point 13 is my favourite |
YetAnotherBrick
05.29.15 | yeah i can understand any song being anyone's favorite, i love the way all the strings keep swelling and receding on that one |
TheWrenKing
05.29.15 | City middle is such an earworm though |
DoofusWainwright
05.29.15 | Strange album. Geese of Beverley Road the only stone cold classic track. The rest are all really diverse but for me not as strong as any of the better material off the next 3 albums. Mr November and Abel are decent enough rockers to mix up a live set so good for that reason, they didn't play anything else off this bar All the Wine when I saw them live recently and gotta be honest that suited me. |
mryrtmrnfoxxxy
05.29.15 | 13 and 8 are top 3 w mr novemeber |
DoofusWainwright
05.29.15 | I'd rate Geese as a 5/5, City 4/5 and most of the rest 3.5/5. Consistently great, rarely jaw to the floor. |
Atari
05.29.15 | gonna give this band another go soon. i own trouble will find me, but it's kinda meh |
TheWrenKing
05.29.15 | Try Boxer or High Violet instead |
Pangea
05.29.15 | This would be so hard to rank. I know i would put baby and mr november higher and val jester last but otherwise idk |
JWT155
05.29.15 | Mr. November and Lit Up are my favorite. |
TheWrenKing
05.29.15 | Abel and Lit Up lower, Daughters, Baby and Val higher
That'd do it |
YetAnotherBrick
05.29.15 | How is TWFM 'meh'? It's so layered, haunting, and beautiful. This album is layered, too, but in a hyper-creative indie kind of way. TWFM is layered in an elegant post-punk Cure-y kind of way. |

05.29.15 | "This would be so hard to rank. I know i would put baby and mr november higher and val jester last but otherwise idk"
Val Jester used to be my last but I've been diggin the atmosphere of it pretty hard lately, the way the strings and the drums kick in after the first chorus |
AmericanFlagAsh
05.29.15 | 13 is 13 you're right |
argonaut
05.29.15 | Solid list, really tough album to rank. I just listened to this album last night, my top three are probably The Geese Of Beverly Road, All The Wine, and Friend Of Mine. |
Atari
05.29.15 | @yetanotherbrick, i just personally find it to be rather boring, but i'm not going to try to convince someone who 5's four of their albums haha. high violet is definitely better though, and i still need to hear alligator and boxer |
NorthernSkylark
05.29.15 | argonaut @ not looking for astronauts? |
argonaut
05.29.15 | Ha, that song rules. Probably in the top half of the album for me. |
YetAnotherBrick
05.29.15 | "but i'm not going to try to convince someone who 5's four of their albums"
good call XD though i can't stop myself from trying to convince you! This and Boxer are definitely better tho |
theBoneyKing
05.29.15 | Ok this is nearly impossible to rank, each song hits you differently every time, but I just listened to this, and I have to say Lit Up is my number one. Mr. November is a close second. Whole album is superb though. |
NorthernSkylark
05.29.15 | murder him sputnik, he made a mistake
if i had to choose my least favorite: abel or lit up |
theBoneyKing
05.29.15 | I love how seemingly no one agrees on the best songs here. That's how you know a truly special album. |
TheWrenKing
05.29.15 | Skylarks and wrens think alike |
ShadowRemains
05.29.15 | 2, 5, 1, 12, 7, 4, 6, 3, 11, 8, 10, 13, 9 |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.30.15 | 11 is disgracefully low, swap it with 5 and you're pretty much there. |
Graveyard
05.30.15 | Karen was the first song I'd heard from these guys. It's been my favorite from them ever since. |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.30.15 | Karen is a great song in so many ways. |
theBoneyKing
05.30.15 | "Without warm water in my head
All I see is black and white and red
I feel mechanical and thin
Hear me play my violin again" |
