I liked Army Reserve a lot when it was new but it’s faded. The codas on Gone and Inside job are really good.

That 10 second little bit that comes in after Inside Job might be my favorite part of the entire album.

yeah, the carnival intro and the outro are really interesting, and far and away better than the song that they sandwich

Fuck. This. Band.

I don't think anyone has seen the SOS (demo) live.

Isn't that what an Ed Ved solo show would be?

I'm not convinced anyone's actually ever been to an Ed solo show.

I've been to 2 and--sacrilegious or not--they were 95% as enjoyable as the whole band, which I did not expect at all

I guess it seems mostly accurate.

Love all the love for Marker, Parachutes, Army Reserve and Unemployable.

I’ve been listening to s/t a lot lately, and giving repeated listens to marker and army reserve.

The upper and lower parts of the ranking seem pretty accurate.

I really like the songs in the top ten (or so) but there’s a pretty steep drop-off thereafter.
