This is totally unrelated but I think that they should cover U2 “I will follow”
And I keep thinking they should cover "Round Here" by Counting Crows.

i saw a great youtube comment (that i can no longer find) to the effect of “everyone thinking this is The Song: in an interview five years from now Matty will say it’s about weed” 😂

i've come around hard on "people" and especially "frail state of mind," both of which i liked but initially didn't see myself returning to much. and now there's this which is absolutely perfect... so so pumped for the album and quite disappointed it's been pushed back yet again.

It's very 'first Ocean Colour Scene album' but perhaps unfairly i couldn't help think of

I think it's safe to say both song and video exemplify "'90s revival."

Great video, it’s like a kitschadelic take on both Sex videos.
I get so emotional when switches from “her” to “you”.

They've written a half dozen good to great songs, but often ILM turns into the Sanders thread when it comes to these dudes.

i wouldn't say they can do no wrong because "people" was sort of a dud but it's close

― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 19 February 2020 05:31 (four years ago) link
doing this exercise makes it clear to me that while i love all their albums, i feel like
the s/t is the most front to back consistent. i only have one song in my POX but it's their most listenable album, and it only sounds better with time as being pan-genre has become so core to the ethos of the band. the EPs are patchier but have some ridiculously good songs.
i like it when you sleep is at least as good as the s/t but imo has some true stone cold unforgettable tracks. i could've easily put "she's american", "i like it when you sleep," and "paris" in my POX. this is overall their best album and if i was trying to get someone into the band i would start them here. it's the one where to me the influences are synthesized in the most cohesive way while also sounding like no other band going. even "nana" and "she lays down" are pretty great.
a brief inquiry... this is the one that has the most songs i just don't feel an emotional attachment to... part of it is bcuz the singles are really good compared to the rest and sometimes it's hard for me to hold onto a single as a personal favorite. the middle here -- from "be my mistake" to "inside your mind" -- is prob the one inessential stretch in their discography, "sincerity is scary" aside. (if i was being very specific the brit awards version would be in my POX). the first 5 and final 5 songs stand up alongside anything from the other albums tho.
