That's interesting, outside of Medicine, I think Living Together is one of the catchiest choruses they've ever done, and "Distress call, code word is "I wanna live"" is one of the most identifiable lines in their discog too.
I'm running through the whole discography today, should I keep updated a long post or make a bunch of small ones?
Yeah I'd just do a bunch of small ones. I've been thinking of doing the same thing this weekend and post my thoughts on their discography for anyone who cares
OLG ranked Kicking Your Crosses Down Close Your Eyes To See In the Morning... Semi Constructive Criticism Living Together Mandala Your Friends Are Gone The Greatest Lie Carry Us Away On Letting Go Difference Between... Travel Hymn That was hard. Top 3 are probably interchangeable In the Mornings half human half machine verse is a top Circa moment for me. The atmosphere and vocal delivery and lyrics there are beautiful and heartbreaking.
oooo i wanna do this edit: also agree with the half human half machine part.. the way that part pops back into the chorus
I'm going to start a discography run today, so count me in for posting thoughts about that. I'll probably do one post for each album.
One post per song dude I think juturna is my favorite because each song is so distinct, they're figuring out a vibe and trying so many things and they're working so well to make a unique sound, it's a pure recording of discovery in a lot of ways. Wish resign into nosebleed is a great transition too
I think great golden baby, or at least the Juturna demo, was at a point my favorite but it's soured a bit on me, there's so many good songs here in a row
Close Your Eyes To See Kicking Your Crosses Down Your Friends Are Gone In The Morning And Amazing Difference Between... The Greatest Lie Living Together On Letting Go Carry Us Away Mandala Semi Constructive Criticism Travel Hymn yeah.. that was really hard haha
The first (and only) time I saw them back in 07/08 he stuck the mic up to his throat and belted that 2nd verse and I've loved it ever since
Stop the fuckin car is so intense, that drumming is insane And a great example of a hook both catchy and complicated, very hard to pull off
Let the record show @teebs41 was the one that inspired me to do it. Circa discog runs are the perfect amount to do in a day. It's a lot, but I felt accomplished after doing it in a day, haha.
We're all thieves, oh hello, always getting what you want are all good, but I'd put them near the bottom if ranking this album song by song. There are just so many home runs, those are like doubles.
I'm very odd and don't really like TGGB, Stop the Car, and Always Getting what you want, but We're All Thieves clicked with like it never has before during my discog run. That's a great song. Oh, Hello was one of my initial favorites when i first listened to this as a kid, so i have a soft spot for it.
