Who Ever Said

[Gigalogy84]

My favorite song on the album and one of their best album openers for sure. It's not straight forward like all of the others openers and still maintains its momentum.

[Monkey_Driven]

Ed finally got the verse/chorus/guitar interlude/chorus/second verse song structure right after some misfires with Unthought Known and Lightning Bolt.

[stip]

Those songs are trying to be something else, I think

Plus Lightning Bolt is excellent.

[guitar_davey]

The prechorus to this is fantastic. The "all in the delivery" part.

When the actual chorus drops, it elevates it even higher.

Ooh baby. I think it just moved.

I love the song Lightning Bolt among my catalogue favourites, although the album version is really limp.

Who Ever Said blows it out of the water. I don't think I'll ever even be able to listen to the recorded version of LB again.

This album is a Lightning Bolt killer (and I even like a lot of Lightning Bolt). This song is the manifesto for Gigaton.

Lightning Bolt succeeds despite the structure, if that makes sense. It serves the song in this one.

[Parrhesia]

Like this from 2:30 onwards. It's not a perfect song but I'll take this, mistakes and all, over the sterile openers from the last 2 albums.

stip is nothing if not indefatigable. you have to admire it.

[VinylGuy]

i love the part of Home is where....ed sounds fucking good and the band is doing all sort of things that grab my attention. And then when Ed starts with
but i wont give up...yeah, im just dancing men.

by thinking Stip's indefatigable
we are tempting fate instead

[stip]

I will man this wall until the Josh Evans remix finally vindicates me

[Jorge]

You can't remix cat poop into a ribeye

[bodysnatcher]

The way Ed enunciates “satisfaction” feels like a nod to Devo’s “I can’t get no satisfaction”

[mikejasond]

I love the music on "Whoever said its all been said" SO MUCH MORE than on "gave up on satisfaction" (not the vocals, just the background chords and sound)

I don’t disagree, but I like the juxtaposition. From melodic and a sense of desperate questioning to a sudden, harsh statement.

It's an interesting juxtaposition I guess but I wish it occupied the sonic space on the beginning of the chorus lines a bit more

You can't remix cat poop into a ribeye

Not with that attitude

the only poop ribeye is a bad attitude

[stip]

Okay, I love this song, too. It's amazing (at least for me) what writing about a song does for my appreciation for it.
