I actually pretty much agree with that ranking, I love NOTW so much. That and Swoon are basically equal to me.
Yessssss! I battle back and forth between Swoon and Neck for the #1 spot but songs like Make Believe, Busy Bees, and The Pit make it my absolute favorite. It’s a close one, though.
Yeah I go back and forth because Swoon is the album that made me fall in love with this band. It is really the thinnest of margins. I think Dots and Dashes is my favorite on NOTW at the moment.
Honestly I recommend just starting at the beginning and going in chronological order. So Pikul EP then Carnavas then the rest and also check out Seasick it's a great release. Nikki sings lead on Ribbons & Detours.
carnavas is better than neck of the woods imo but but both are fantastic, and obviously so is better nature. like all these records are fucking sick and the differences are negligable but my ranking would be swoon > carnavas > neck of the woods > better nature
I think I’d place NOTW and Carnavas pretty much dead even. Better Nature is my least favorite, but it’s also the one I’ve spent the least time with and by no means is it bad. They just have a very solid discography.
I would say their 2 most underrated records are their last 2. I have them pretty much all even very hard band to make an album ranking for because I like them all about the same.
def their best opener imo, and that’s a pretty big accomplishment given the others are all top tier songs too
weird i think better nature is their best record also do not miss out on “cannibal,” a song that rules
