i've listened to this one a couple of times in the last two days, and i've come to the conclusion that Nothing As It Seems could be improved upon in a live setting with a horns section.

they'll never do this.

Yeah the only thing that could improve the song in a live setting is giving Mike more space to explore the solos. Otherwise perfection.

thank you, Jorge.

maybe it's because they use a harmonium, but yeah...horns would be nice.

I think that may be the fretless bass you're hearing, dad

Mitchell Froom is credited as playing the harmonium on Binaural but I think they use it in "Parting Ways"

I take a lot of heat for hating Habit. But I feel like as long as there are NAIS haters out there, y'all can leave me the fuck alone!
