Backdrifts. Why the hell are people voting Myxamatosis and Sail to the Moon?

Backdrifts is easily my second favorite song on this album, an orgy of aural delights dancing through my brain. This is damn near the perfect headphone song. So beautiful.

Yep. Myxomatosis always seemed dull to me, so that should go out next.

After that only really good songs stay. This album really suffered from too much songs.
 
Backdrifts. Again. And again. Until it gets the hell away from me.

It's atonal, repetitive, droning, and stereotypically cryptic lyrically. Decent live though, because at least it has some punch.

:tsk: Studio version is the same thing over and over for 5 minutes

:drool: LIVE version has backwards guitar and dancing Thom. Honestly, which would you choose? :wink:

Jesus, that's what makes it so fucking good.

And horrible production? Are you listening to the same song I am? Wait, weren't you one of the ones defending the production on In Lamebows before though?

Yeah, I was, and I stick by it. HTTT just sounds really dry to my ears. People criticize HTDAAB, but Sail To The Moon actually distorts in the louder parts. :yikes:

Still voting for Backdrifts.

Sail to the Moon and Myoxmatosis own guys, or am I listening to different songs?

My thoughts, too.
 
God, this final four on an alternate Hail playlist I made make me love these songs more. Tell me what you think:

I Will (LA Version)
There There
Sail to the Moon
A Wolf at the Door

Finding out that order was like finding a lost sock - rewarding and comforting for my left foot.
