I'm pleasantly surprised with all the Swallowed Whole love. I think I was the only one who voted for it as the best song when the album came out.

Yeah, that's weird, man. It's pretty universally loved around here. I think I'm the only one who has it at the bottom of the album. I think Pete is another one who said at one time that it was the only "good" song on the album.

"Let the Records Play" is a contender for the worst list, but it has stiff competition. The live version on Brad's Australia '14 comp is pretty solid at least.

Sigh. Fine, verm, who are we hurting by liking a song that you don't like?

I think it's a really fun song. Good phrases in the verses. I really love the "when the shot glass talks he knows to listen up" bit. I love the swampy guitars. The song as a decent crunch to it in the opening. The melody is like a warm breeze on sweaty, sticky, too red skin. It doesn't quite soothe but at least it's moving air.

And they haven't done much else like it. So it's refreshing to my ears. It's not a great song by any stretch. But it gets the job done. Gets my toe to tapping and my head to swaying. And it's singable as shit.

Whatever. I like it.

I like the Shania Twain version much better...

and I like the 'ears painted on' line. Gonna reuse that one sometime today, most likely.

I had forgotten "Let the Records Play" existed. God, that song is bad.
