it sounds as if Tom & Ed had woken up one morning, decided that "It Doesn't Matter" is their best track after all, and went on to meld its frenzied mantra-like stomp with tons of E-friendly monster build-ups!! and i was this close to giving up on them after the excrutiating "Golden Path", what a spectacular return to form.

Why does everyone dismiss "The Golden Path"? Because of the cheesy lyrics? I think it's a great single.

Sorry but I really despise the Golden Path.

I mean, the rest of the song--the "lions and wizards yet to come" nonsesne and all that--I could understand dismissing all but completely. But that climax is the most life-affirming thing they've done in ages.

I like it [The Golden Path] a little bit because as I've said before it reminds me a bit of Julian Cope.― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Monday, 16 February 2004 22:25 (twenty years ago) bookmarkflaglink
I always think this! Or have since getting into Julian Cope in the mid-2010s, a decade after I first heard The Golden Path. Latter is still the only Flips I listen to.
