timsimmons Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Yeah, Alligator is perfection. The Looseness and rawness of their early sound, but song writing as strong as everything that came after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 i agree with the guys saying that the "interlude" tracks are kind of a waste of time. they may work in the context of the short film, but not on the album release. i kinda like the chorus of Not in Kansas but Oblivions, IAETF and Light Years are definitely the albums strong points IMO backpackoat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuhanclan Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Not in order: Quiet Light Not in Kansas Oblivions Light Years Perhaps it would grow on me in time like SWB did, but imo so far so fast is the most boring track on the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 This album has really grown on me over the last several days. Gets better and better with every listen. I think the short film really enriches the experience—it’s beautiful. Finally got my clear record today, and I’m excited to sit down with the lyric book.

Oblivions Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Alligator IAETF/Sleep Well Beast TWFM/Boxer/Cherry Tree EP High Violet SSFDL Virginia EP S/T First six are a few degrees of separation from each other and then HV is a step down and SSFDL is another step down.
