relistening to this for the first thing in a while. It really does not sound like much of anything else in my collection. It does not particularly sound like something I would want in my collection. And yet. This is the universe of the sea. There is no disputing it. And how can you not be drawn to the sea in its seemingly infinite expanse?

I was in a bad mood when I first put this on and was a little underwhelmed but after a few more spins I think that was on me. _God of Everything Else_ is fantastic and everything else on the album is, at bare minimum, good

Been listening to this pretty heavily since it came out because I kept meaning to review it and also because it's good! I think maybe not quite hitting the highs of God's Pee but also who know

The front half of this album caught me off guard as it starts a lot lighter than the title might suggest. The end of RAINDROPS CAST IN LEAD feels almost rowdy. The interlude of BROKEN SPIRES AT DEAD KAPITAL and then fuck you ominous drum of PALE SPECTATOR TAKES PHOTOGRAPHS is closer to what I expected (even if the drums feel slightly outside their normal sound to me).

I think it's also to say that that dirge is easily the strongest track on… More

Back when me and my buddy Mark were on a work term together we swapped iPods for a day to check out each other's music. The only thing I still remember listening to was this album.

He seemed a little surprised when I said this album ruled and included the final track in that opinion. Honestly, and no offence to liars on this, I think the ending might be the best part.

The Futureheads were the second band I ever went to see live. They were the second opening act for Hot Hot Heat but me and my buddy Ian were there to see The Futureheads. They played everything on this album and it felt like they played everything like 15% faster. Fun times.

Clangy guitars, harmonized vocals. I kind of feel like the futureheads didn't properly get their due.

Also, I heard this cover of Hounds of Love before hearing the original so in my mind this is the 'real' version. I know that's not right but also it's a real good cover

Oh, apparently we're posting about songs we used as ringtones/alarms today. I used One Heavy February as a ringtone for a while and it was a mistake because it's a great song and it ruined it for me for a while.

I don't know if something both twee and nostalgic was the right thing to listen to when all in my feelings about the impending demise of cohost but it's hard to argue with the fact that this album is great

Legit, this is one of my favourite Modest Mouse songs. It got me to pick up Get Here and Stay. I think it's a great blend of both bands sounds and somehow ends up more spacey and relaxed than I think either band is on their own. I find it almost hypnotic in its looping

As with basically every remix, I find the two on the b side of this single to be, at kindest, unneeded.
