>>63921980
I could maybe make a case for preferring obstacle 1 over untitled, but this album gets worse as it goes on (other than NYC which is an anomalous disgustingly low spike)

>>63922171
I think this one is hard because (imo) it's a really consistent album, tunnels is great but I think I slightly prefer rebellion and in the backseat.
>>
>>63922171
Bonus points for it being the best song in their entire discography.

joining in here. five years is a fuckin great song, but imo it's rivalled by rock 'n' roll suicide and suffragette city... even moonage daydream.

>>63922120
>which is an anomalous disgustingly low spike
what did he mean by this
>>
>>63922248
to be honest i think it's the worst song on the album. still good, but i just love east hastings and providence a lot. fast drums make me hard i guess
>>
>>63921980
how do people actually think this? the new is one of the best tracks and it's the penultimate

It's still weird how often it happens that I lose interest in an album after the first three songs. The songs after that just don't seem remarkable, at least not on the first listen.

literally this :^)
i love this album and i love all of sufjan's stuff but the first track really fuckin speaks to me, its literally like it was written about my current life situation
>>
>>63922585
That's because they front-loaded the entire album, or treated the album as a single + a bunch of mediocre songs.

Futile Devices is cool but the album has so much more going on

i know, i know, there are so many other great tracks, but i think its just the simplicity and the beauty of that short track that, to me, really summarises and encompasses the past few months of my life, that really makes it personally touching and a highlight of it for me.
