I really like both "Take the Long Way" and "Never Destination" but I have no idea why they decided to turn the bass all the way down for those two songs.

I do think there are a few very good songs on Backspacer and Lightning Bolt. I can both disagree and understand someone saying all of Gigaton is better.

But I think it's more of a stretch saying all of Gigaton is better than all of S/T.
Mostly agreed. A sensible person can like many songs on S/T, possibly even wrongfully thinking they equate to the awesomeness that is Gigaton. Only a big dumb dumb stupid idiot would ever think anything on the last two disasters is in the same stratosphere.
I look forward to seeing your full list in the ranking thread.

the visualizers are fucking excellent and really help me situate this album, aesthetically and sonically, alongside the Yield-Binaural era

very tactical marketing

Thinking about the song ranking thread for the last four albums. I liked your list from the previous three albums a lot. One that aligned with my own taste more than most.

I liked yours as well, a few outliers, but that makes it interesting. Man, I’m completely in love with this album. It’s right just about everywhere.

I got home from work two days ago, and just crashed on the couch with headphones on. My girlfriend was having a shower, and the baby was sleeping. As she got out of the shower, she saw me listening to the album on headphones, and she said: "you've been listening to that album a lot!". I just smiled, but I thought: "this is just the beginning". So happy we have this album to listen to from here onwards.

If I can get over today and my guy gets back safe n sound from Moscow (long story) I’m gonna let this in properly and take me up there with you. I’m ready for it but worth everything going on n so stressed n freaked I’ve not been letting it. Just out of guilt.
