    We reach for the longest shadow

    As a christian, I have some others that I like less due to lyrical content, but yeah, it's boring and underwhelming, especially since TWY had such a high bar for closers up until that point.

    It's chaos. Be kind. Prestigious

    That's what happened when Real Friends put out Colder Quicker, and look how that turned out.

    That’s definitely not the correct order

    I will die on the hill that No Closer To Heaven is a perfect closer for that record, or at least the best one they could make at that time. There was no possible way for them to top the previous closers they have. From Bar Bands, to Nothing, and to Funeral, the finales got bigger and bigger to the point that there's no way you could top it. The only option in my mind was to switch things up with a total curveball.

    Cigs and Saints was the perfect closer for that record though

    Also Shaazam gets track listing orders wrong all of the time, names are probably real but I wouldn't put too much stock into anything else. I do think this song could work as an opener though.

    I agree. I Just Want to Sell Out my Funeral was so epic that they could never top it. They had to strip it down and go in the other direction. With that being said, the first time I ever listened to Funeral and figured out what was going on was one of my favorite musical memories.

    If you throw Cigs and Saints to the end, I think you'd get a lot more people complaining how the middle of the record bores them. It works as the perfect midpoint, maybe you started to lose attention, but that one pulls you right back in.

    I say it a lot, I wish I could go back and experience listening to that song for the first time again. I'll never forget that moment.

    Heaven's Gate being the opener though could be a neat little throwback to their last album though. They made it up there lol.

    Yeah, I like NCTH, but the way the tracks are ordered is kind of anticlimactic, and a big reason I don't come back to it as much. I actually reordered the tracks and listen to the record on a playlist now that I think flows a lot better.

    I guess so, but I think the only bad part of the record (besides the production) is that Palm Reader and NCTH are the worst songs on the album and also end the album
