this album if anything is too consistent for me in the sense that after ghosts i cant really pick out any major discog highlights but its all still really great. houses is probably the closest for me to getting there though
Turns out this was my most-listened-to album this year, and I believe it. It's also funny to me to read that Waves was divisive at the time, because that was the album that got me into the band in the first place.
That's why it was divisive, as it wasn't a flop at all, but it turned some of the fans off, and brought them many new ones, as well as it just had plenty other reactions at the time. I was personally disappointed for like one night (I got really into post rock around that time and hoped for more of that sound), but then it was one of my most-listened-to records that year for sure hahh. With this new one I was so pleased right away of course, but also just spinned it so many times - I've listened to it like 2 or 3 times more than my other "top" albums
