the highs are so high on we were dead. march into the sea and parting of the sensory are among their best.

 

Don’t forget Building Nothing Out of Something

 

bout ten years ago i spent every waking minute listening to that comp. inject every second of workin on leavin the livin into my veins.

 

Honestly probably only like 4 songs from we were dead

 

"A Different City" kicks ass, forgot how much it does until I started relistening just now

 

I just listened to we were dead and it still rules. Spitting Venom is one of my favorite MM songs.

 

I like LCW and TMAA roughly the same amount but TMAA was, like, more ~revelatory~ to me and clicked way sooner (like a 3 or 4 year difference) so I have more memories attached to it. oddly tho, I think I am more likely to throw on stuff from Good News or LCW if I am gonna casually listen to MM, so Moon doesn’t get visited as frequently as those two records. it’s just one of those records I feel compelled to listen to front to back every time I put a song from it on.

 

I prefer it by a fair distance too. Good News has it's share of filler

 

I will say that "The World at Large" is one of my favorite MM songs though

 

"Ocean Breathes Salty" is an all-timer

 

yeah another good one

 

"World at Large" is one of the most perfect things I know

I like songs about drifters, books about the same...

 

The View is underrated af and might have imo the single most powerful/poignant lyrical stanzas Brock ever wrote imo

“if life’s not beautiful without the pain, well I’d just rather never even see beauty again.”

oh, and The Good Times Are Killing Me is my all-time favorite MM song.

 

Bukowski is a good one too

 

hot take: p much every song on that record is good or great and a few are masterpieces. it is perhaps the most perfect leap to a more tangibly “radio-friendly” sound that I can really think of.

 

As basic as I’d seen for it, it really is my favorite album of theirs

 

Blame It on the Tetons & One Chance too. Hmm. It might be my favorite release of there's actually. Always thought my answer was We Were Dead

 

Published a week late but here’s my retrospective review on The Moon & Antarctica!

To this day, the first thing I play when I pick up any guitar
