I'm not going to go through all 227 pages of posts... but I did do a search and dont seem to see anyone saying it...


this riff is... Night Light from Sleater-Kinney
not that its a bad thing, just shocking no one else picked up on it.

This one is an even more sure-footed "4" for me.

That song is like a super weird freaky kissing cousin to Dark Matter.

‘eroding away, we’re pulling apart’ is quitely one of my favorite moments on the record.


ohh and it follows ‘you’re now like the water and the water will find its way’ from wreckage. just noticed that

As a whole, I've always loved Tremor Christ, Rats, Whipping, Army Reserve, Hail hail, Alone, Last Exit, Severed Hand, Dirty Frank, Iin Hiding, obviously Jeremy...

Being more specific, I'd say the outro of Cropduster, the verses of Bushleaguer, the verses of Got to give, the bridge and verses of Pilate, the verses of Porch, the outro of Hold on, the bridge of No Way, the verses of God's Dice, the bridge of Evacuation, the verses of Get Right, the outro of Quick Escape, the verses and outro of Marker in the Sand, the outro of Unemployable...

Lots of things, I know :lol:

Anyone else wishing just a tiny bit that they hadn't played the shit out of this song before the album dropped? :lol:

:haha: I did a pretty good job staying away from it for several weeks, and when I gave the album a listen today I realized it's fully settled in as an album track for me, and I was looking forward to hearing it in a way I hadn't since sometime in February.

Yeah, I never skip it, but I'm looking forward to it feeling more like part of the whole, which it's starting to.

With all the press they've been doing, you gotta think they're going to do SNL or one of the late night shows. I could see them breaking it out there.
