I was a murderer version voter and I think my feelings are well documented.

i love both renditions. album version is slower iirc? it was the first i encountered and maybe that’s why i don’t prefer one

6 of my top ten haven't placed yet and I suspect two of them won't.

Murderer version is sparser and more harmonically ambiguous whereas the album version has a more conventional chord structure iirc. I think they played it even slower when they did it live.

How these are not top 5?! So many of Low's best songs feel like naming and giving catharsis to microcosms of human behavioural experiences - ugly, violent, beautiful - and nothing but heart just feels to me like sarcasm and narcissism and I'm so very into it.

my first low song!!! i didn’t vote for it but it’s still incredible

this is one i didn't at all expect to see this high. it's fine but there are at least two or three songs on the great destroyer that improve on its general vibe
no in fact this song is incredibly dope

i love the drums soooo much
I really love “Nothing But Heart” but that was my #30 for the longest time but it eventually got pushed out for something that needed a better chance of placing.
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Friday, 26 November 2021 20:59 (two years ago) link
I was one of the #1 voters for Silver Rider. Love the sense of dread and the overwhelming la-la-las on the chorus with Mimi’s voice riding over the waves of sound.

Nothing but heart was amazing during the DN tour with the weird light show behind the stage.

Seconded! Unless there’s some wonderful cabal of you out there, I think it’s safe to assume my favorite from HW won’t be placing.

Nearly half of mine placed under 25 and then it dried up, I'm now expecting my #1 not to place.

this is another i had no idea would be such a favourite at all
it’s going to be weird if the better Mimi-led song from that album doesn’t place.
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Friday, 26 November 2021 21:29 (two years ago) link
More than any other song, Laser Beam made me a Low fan for life, no joke. I had ever heard an "indie" (for lack of a better word) song do so much with so little.

Ah there it is, phew! The unassailable distillation of what makes Low - perfect economical sound, those themes of violence, trust - feels like the grandfather of everything ever they've done, in a way. Never any question.
