We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

Exactly.

"Pearl Jam's stuff makes me laugh, while IDLES gives me wood."

Something like that. And for what it's worth, in spite of all the frustration I've expressed with trag, hearing about IDLES did make me check them out extensively. They are not for me, but I'm glad many here enjoy them. They have a wonderful marriage of rage and love- that righteous indignation that was all-present in EV in PJ's early years. Steering this discussion back to the subject at hand, I do feel some of that in this song :D :D :D

Welp, I think that just about says it all!

Cedarwood Road by U2 came up on random a few minutes ago and feel I heard some similarities with this track.

Trag, is this song above or below clairvoyants?

I've listened to this one twice and I can't really tell the difference

I don’t like the process of releasing a single and then months until the full album. Too much time to get over saturated with and sick of that first single.
