I freaked out on ap.net when it was leaked. Royal in particular floored me the first time I heard it.
I've been listening to Gore quite a bit recently and I still love it. Gorgeous album. Even Xenon has grown on me.
Hole in the Earth a contender for their best song. And who the fuck dares argue with that stretch of Combat>Kimdracula>Riviere.
This thread inspired me to throw on Saturday Night Wrist for the first time in a while... I always make the mistake of not spending as much time on this one as some of their other albums. I think it might actually be my favorite.
SNW is so fucking good and so underrated. Hole in the Earth and Beware are two of my absolute favorite songs ever
I think it's their least good personally. At least a quarter of it is the worst stuff they've put on a studio album. But the best stuff on there is as great as it ever it is. Rock music doesn't get better than Beware.
I find it weird that the album is usually so poorly represented in setlists. Beware is staple material.
Cherry Waves is their 2nd best song and I would die for its honor Chi's bass line in that song is just ugh
