I've said this before but probably the best minute on the album is the last minute of Swallowed Whole.

Since we're all just out here repeating ourselves, Swallowed Whole is not a good song.

if i remember correctly, it falls in the middle of the road on that album. one of those songs that i could skip at any given moment, or decide to listen to if it came on while thinking, "sure why not, haven't heard this in a while"

Swallowed Whole is OK, not the worst song on that album.

I just played the song for the first time in maybe 2 years to see if I actually liked it or if I was talking out of my ass. Yes I like it! I love its sense of movement and that bridge is sweet. But yeah it sounds so plasticky and awful, the production on this album is truly bad

You need to drive around listening to this album on CD to get the full experience. Preferably in a 2013 Elantra.
