"little death" closely followed by "river run"
― ufo, Tuesday, 10 September 2019 19:15 (four years ago) link
here are my tiers
- Great No One, Future Me Hates Me- Not Running, Little Death, Happy Unhappy- Uptown Girl, River Run, Whatever, Less Than Thou- You Wouldn't Like Me (can't stand the section with hand claps, which makes it sound like an ad for a cleaning product)

*sounds of hand clap section of "You Wouldn't Like Me"*
I have been a mess of lateAnd you wouldn't be impressedBut I've got something on my chest
*camera zooms in on a big sloppy joe stain on a sweater*
I've been stressed of lateBut please don't try to guess whats on my mindYou probably won't like what you'll find
*mom tries soaking and scrubbing the stain, but it won't work*
Oh you, you wouldn't like meIf you saw what was inside meYeah you, you wouldn't like meAt all
*Instrumental sounds as the camera switches to a close-up of new Ultra cleaning plus with aloe*

i think i liked little death and the title track the most, but thinking about not running and river run pt. 1 is making this decision even harder that it already was.

i had to rank my fave albums of the decade a few weeks ago and this made the top 10
all songs are really good or better BUT Little Death still wins

also, as a side thought: it will be really interesting to see if they can capture the same magic again on LP2.
The new songs they played were pretty solid, slotted right in.

tossup between 2 and 5

Title track - but Little Death and River Run close in the running. Great power pop record/fun live band - wish them much success.

You Wouldn't Like Me is great!

Not Running, Little Death and Happy Unhappy is probably my favourite run of songs on any album this decade. I could vote for any of those, but that awesome double chorus of Little Death puts it just ahead.
Just listened to this album at the weekend. Still incredible.

"Not Running" with the title track coming a close second. This is definitely top 10 of the decade for me.
― enochroot, Tuesday, 10 September 2019 23:16 (four years ago) link
i voted "not running"

Decided to make some more detailed notes:
Also, can we agree that the album artwork and band name aren't doing them any favors?

Not a bad song here but I'm torn between Little Death and Not Running.

how i love it when "little death" seriously gets going after the line "you say my name" around one minute in. that chorus is really kicking ass. but this album is gold from start to finish.

Hoping I’m not the only person voting Whatever! That song is just great hook after great book

move to cancel and go again gradually with tournament-style brackets

track 1 the way she says "world" near the end... well how can anything possibly top that!

I could've gone with Great No One, Future Me Hates Me, Not Running, Little Death, Happy Unhappy, River Run, Whatever, or Less Than Thou. I voted Less Than Thou cuz recency bias
― maffew12, Friday, 20 September 2019 00:03 (four years ago) link
Have only just realised that Less Than Thou might be the best song on here.

"You Wouldn't Like Me" is my favourite.
