Red Mosquito

Pretty good song. I love how different it sounds.

I do think it's missing something, though. Kinda feels like the chorus should be a pre-chorus and a real chorus is what's missing.

Then again, I like the restraint they exercised, so I'm still debating myself over this one.

I still really like this one.

It's got a very full and warm sound. That is different from several of the slower songs on recent albums.

Absolutely what draws me to it

I think I dislike the direction the chorus goes. I'm not sure how to describe it. feels like the sound is very unique and interesting, and then gets boring on the chorus and too generic

but the chorus is what makes it sound like "Strangest Tribe"!

This is a beautiful song. I pretty much like everything about you it. And it’s still in my bottom three. It’s crazy.

didn’t realise matt plays guitar on this one.

While I disagree with your placing (this could be my favourite), it's great having an album with no crap songs on it, isn't it?

It’s amazing. Every song is really wonderful. I have been listening on repeat for six hours! Lol!

That's awesome!

I think the lyrics hit home (pun intended) for a lot of people right now.

I am regulated as can be, and it's a good album, damn it. Gigaton makes it clear as day the importance of giving songs space.

Low Light is the first song to make me cry.

And I'm pretty sure it was the song and not the 2 hour download time on 1998 dial up internet.

this is an amazingly beautiful song. Delicate and simple. Among their best in this style, Present Tense, Parting Ways, Strangest Tribe, Thin Air.
