As an individual song I agree, but the run from You and Me and One Spotlight --> Cut Me, Mick --> Paper Walls is simply incredible.
Ok this is a fun one lol You and Me and One Spotlight --> Cut Me, Mick --> Paper Walls Martin Sheen or JFK --> Space Travel --> Grey Way Away --> Breathing --> Ocean Avenue
Awakening --> Surface of the Sun --> Always Summer Way Away --> Breathing --> Ocean Avenue The Sound of You and Me --> For You and Your Denial --> With You Around Light Up the Sky --> Shadows and Regrets --> Five Becomes Four
Was going to do a top 3 but couldn’t cut any of these One Bedroom -> Fragile and Dear -> Illuminate With You Around -> Hang You Up -> Life of Leaving Home Awakening -> Surface of the Sun -> Always Summer Martin Sheen or JFK -> Space Travel -> Grey
There are a lot of solid runs, but it’s hard for me to even consider anything other than the ending stretch of Paper Walls tbh
Solid runs is kind of an oxymoron, but I'd have to say the four three song runs in the first six songs on Paper Walls are my favorite.
California is a solid, muted closer, but MSK is the highest of highs. My favorite song. Such a masterpiece. Be the Young is their best closer for sure. The song makes me feel like I’ve just graduated and I’m not sure what life holds for me next. Never had a song make me feel like change and uncertainty are in the winds around me.
