Johnny Guitar is fucking BAD? it's bad

[Ms Harmless]

remember when this came out and people were like "it's clever because like, are the lips above his head... vagina lips?"

[Ms Harmless]

"Amongst the Waves" is my favourite song so far

[Ms Harmless]

"Unthought Known" is great

[Ms Harmless]

"Supersonic" is still fucking awful, I haven't budged on it

[Tj]

This record is great. Unthought Know top 4 song all time.

[Ms Harmless]

"Speed of Sound" is one hell of a sonic experiment, a really lovely song

[Ms Harmless]

Matt smashes a china cymbal through the chorus!!!!!

[Ms Harmless]

the harmonies!

[Ms Harmless]

"Force of Nature" is cool enough, like the outro a lot

[Ms Harmless]

"The End" is a great, incredibly sad song; lovely

the brass section and all the orchestration in this song is so very tasteful I'm AMAZED they make so many bad production decisions

it's such a weirdly down ending to a bright album but I like it a lot

[Ms Harmless]

I mostly like the slower atmospheric songs on this more than its attempts to rawk; The Fixer and AtW are exceptions to that (though arguably TF is more fun 80s punk pop than Rawk, and I've always said AtW is island-groove-laden surf rock more than it is an attempt to recapture "Alive")
