Probably should have relistened to this BEFORE voting. Went for URAQT from memory but forgot how astonishing Amazon was. piscesx is right, it's on another plane.

I was thinking of voting for "Fire Fire" then I ended up forgetting to vote at all. Oh well.

"Amazon" and "Hombre" are the two undeniable tracks for me, with "Galang", "Sunshowers", "URAQT" and "Fire Fire" close behind. I don't really care one way or the other about any of the other tracks other than "Bingo", which I actively hate.

I do think this album is more consistent and easier to listen to straight through than "Kala". But it doesn't have a "Paper Planes".
― o. nate, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 16:36 (fourteen years ago) link
It has a lot of songs that are better than "Paper Planes".

^^^
paper planes is good but a) I'd rather just listen to the clash track (no rockist) and b) the fact that it's such a standout track on the album says more about Kala's mediocrity than Paper Planes's greatness
I would have voted 10 Dollar I think

I love the clash but that song is awful imo.

The original, I mean. PP is great.
The Clash song is okay but it's a totally different song than PP. They don't sound anything alike to me. So I don't really understand that idea that you have to pick one or the other.

Nicely done, man. Except 10 Dollar, forever my favorite, is languishing in the middle of side 2.

"world town" deserves a spot but yeah good list

Sunshowers was the first track I heard on much music as a teen and it sounded fresher than anything I had heard at that time. Galang is hard to beat tho - the outro always gets me

Saw a tweet about the movie doc having been show at DC area Documentaries Doc fest (a day after the showing). Tweet suggested that having a familiarity with her music and career already was needed to enjoy pic.
