Ah We Tigers sounds so fun! They should do that one in every live performance. If the crowd follows it’s crazy stupid fun. Makes me want to see a performance with one of those student choirs that are all over youtube..z like this Crystal Castles - Untrust Us cover: https://youtu.be/g7a2u9v0V0c

I revisited this record for the first time in *years* yesterday... some excellent tracks (Winters Love, Leaf House, Softest Voice) and i liked the 12 minute song more than i remember. But everything after College is kinda... unlistenable??
Perhaps it's something i just need to listen to more until it clicks but all i could think was, like, how stoned was Pitchfork back in 2004 to think this was good enough to be an 8.9?? (if i remember the score correctly). Do people actually think Whaddit I Done is good?
and like, I LOVE those tracks I mentioned earlier. So i want to love this. but the second half is a mess!

it's funny how Who Could Be A Rabbit? sounds so dated. I like it, but it's very mid-2000. I think as a teenager i wished it was less weird, now i think it sounds so overtly pop!

Drop off on the last three tracks is real, but also I wouldn't say they're horrible. I always listened to those almost as soundscapes because the songwriting chops aren't on full display, a flip side to visiting friends that is not intentionally trying to be visiting friends. Maybe it's too forgiving a perspective but it works for me!
Softest voice to visiting friends is exactly what I want AnCo to be always. they're at their best at their most melancholy (see: Banshee Beat, Cuckoo Cuckoo, No More Running, man-of-oil EP)

We Tigers was robbed in this poll
We Tigers is my authentic teenager choice and also my closeted 28yo choice which I will never tell anyone about.

visiting friends and the softest voice are the true victims. Glad kids on holiday got respect at least
