They’re all terrible, but I didn’t say that. I only asked if Leatherhead thought it worse than Unthought Known, which I agree is also a fucking shit show.

Either way, all three of those songs are very similar levels of rotten eggs. I hate them all.

swallowed whole is pretty good, but it had a seed that grew up into the vastly superior in the dark

I like Swallowed Whole. The Dark is indeed superior.

I hadn't made that connection. But it makes sense to me now that you mention it. The Dark hasn't registered with me like it has with others and I also really don't like Swallowed Whole. Good job on the connection there.

I think the same thing but with Fallout Today instead. I just keep hearing Springsteen in The Dark.

How do you see the swallowed whole/fallout today connection?

Both vaguely remind me of REM. It may not be that logical.

Swallowed Whole has that jangly rem riff, and Fallout Today just kind of reminds me of something that could have been a poppier song in Accelerate or Collapse into Now or even a Document or Green, but with that acoustic sound instead of electric? I don’t know. There’s something rem about it I am not exactly placing.

I love that song so much I brought a sign for it to Denver 2014. :shock:

Just listened to this album all the way through after Earthling. Two things occurred to me:

1) The quality of songs is a little better than I remember.

2) The production is dramatically worse than Earthling, an album that many here have derided for having poor production.
