Who Ever Said

[Jaeti]

When Living forward in a backwards town / I feed 'em drinks just to watch 'em drown hits...

Mmmhmm, very.

[PHATJ]

I love this song, and it feels like Faithfull.

It’s born out of the fixer to these ears.

No bad thing.

[PHATJ]

On first listen, macphisto said it reminded him of Brain of J.

[dimejinky99]

I hear far more fixer than brains tbh

[Release_Me]

I hear just a uniquely great song that doesn't really have a parallel in their catalogue. It's like 3 songs in one; takes so many unexpected turns with each more exciting than the previous one.

The part from 2:30 onwards is my favourite thing on the album. This is a great song and I'll say it again without hesitation: best opener since Last Exit.

If only there was a thread with a poll dedicated to that exact topic

It doesn't have the punch of Brain of J. Not saying that you can't say that it's just as good or better.

I love this fucking song so much

I don’t think it’s trying to. Apart from being openers they’re doing very different things musically I’d venture.

I agree. It wasn't meant as a knock on the song.

Oh I got you


I long for the day the track an album like a show.

[stip]

other than pretty much all of dance 2:30-4:30 may be the high water mark of the album

[smallest_oceans]

I like how well the chorus sits not matter what verse or interlude came before it. The open chords and cool bass line always bring the chaos back together.

[stip]

also i think the song this may have the most in common with is swallowed whole -especially the bridge

[smallest_oceans]

Except soooo much better. I honestly didn't think Ed still had it in him to write in such a creative way anymore. And I used to defend getaway.

[stip]

it’s definitely better. there are elements of getaway in here as well for sure, but with the layers and space those songs are missing (especially getaway)

[smallest_oceans]

yeah I agree- and I think I will still agree in a couple of years time.
