Red Mosquito

Pendulum
MYM
Infalliable
Lightning Bolt
Sirens
Swallowed Whole
Yellow Moon
Let The Records Play
My Fathers Son
Sleeping By Myself
Future days
Getaway

I'm still getting to know the songs but it is obvious that Pendulum should have been the opener.

I feel like there are multiple openers and closers on the album, and that's a good thing

Still tinkering but so far:

1. Pendulum
2. Swallowed Whole
3. Infallible
4. Lightning Bolt
5. Getaway
6. Sirens
7. Future Days
8. My Father's Son
9. Mind Your Manners
10. Let The Records Play
11. Sleeping By Myself
12. Yellow Moon

Got a new one going cos I felt bad for removing 3 tracks, still not including Future Days:

1. Getaway
2. Lightning Bolt
3. Infallible
4. Mind Your Manners
5. My Father's Son
6. Sirens
7. Sleeping By Myself
8. Let The Records Play
9. Swallowed Whole
10. Pendulum
11. Yellow Moon

Surprisingly, the transition from MFS to Sirens isn't as awkward when you chuck them both deeper into the album, and Sleeping By Myself sounds a lot nicer placed after Sirens as it plays off the softness of both tracks. Pendulum and Yellow Moon closing out the album, as they should be.

I really like that one.

Having only listened to my own tracked version of the album, and then looking back at theirs, makes me truly realise how awful the sequencing is on this album. What the fuck.

I really like that one.

I think it sets a better mood. It also lets the energy of Swalowed Whole, Infallible and Lightning Bolt seem more potent. I really like future days as a breaking point.

I didn't realize there was a thread for this when i was talking about it in the LB thread earlier but my first retrack is really simple, i feel like the combo of sirens and lightning bolt are in the wrong spot on the album,so id just move them down a couple of tracks

Getaway
MYM
MFS
Infallible
Pendulum
Sirens
Lightning bolt
Swallowed Whole
LTRP
SBM
Yellow Moon
Future Days

I haven tried it to see if i like it better that way, and it might actually be better switching lightning bolt and sirens as well but i just feel like those 2 are placed weirdly

1. Pendulum
2. Getaway
3. My Father's Son
4. Infallible
5. Sirens
6. Swallowed Whole
7. Sleeping By Myself
8. Yellow Moon

And like WtoB, I love the first session tracks a lot. If you listen to that first session you can almost imagine the band meeting word for word saying they need a few rockers, an anthem and some more immediacy from the next batch of tracks. I like Getaway and MFS from session 2 but the others seem to have been written from a brief. We need an anthem rocker (LB), a punk rock song to fire them up (MYM), a poignant ballad (FD) and a piece of throwaway shite (LTRP).

just tried...

Getaway
MYM
MFS
LB
Infallible (because of the lead in from LB)
Pendulum
SW
YM
FD


SBM (hidden track)

LTRP (b-side to MYM)

Love the album like this and wish there were 2 more songs to replace the last 2 and hope we get some b-sides so we can all be disappointed by how good they are and why they were left off the album...

I would put more symmetry from the more agressive songs to the calmer ones:

Getaway
Mind Your Manners
My Father's Son
Let The Records Play
Lightning Bolt

Infallible - transition

Pendullum
Sirens
Swallowed Whole
Sleeping By Myself
Yellow Moon
Future Days

Pendulum
Getaway
Mind Your Manners
My Father's Son
Swallowed Hole
Infallible
Yellow Moon

sounds pretty good.
