I always thought it was kind of Pixies-esque.

This is a great song. I miss Jack's influence on the band.

I really enjoy it. Hard to call it great. It's a pretty minor song, but it's a side of the band that I really like and wish they would explore more often.

Certainly harder without Jack Irons, I'll grant you. But I think they're capable, just probably uninterested in trying.

i was watching video of a live BRY from 2014 last night and couldn't believe how neutered it sounded compared to the studio version.

The more time goes by the more I like this song. There was a time where I thought of it like it was Sweet Lew, but now it's something I really enjoy when I hear it.

The fact that I quite like sweet lew and enjoy Olympic platinum have softened me on whale song a bit

No, he's right. It's a charming minor throw away song.

I really liked the 2010 version of "BRY."
