Catch For Us The Brackets (mewithoutYou bracket) Bracket • Page 19

You do you. I'll be over here enjoying this fantastic record.

 

It's definitely underrated but it's hard to claim it's one of their best amidst such a stellar back catalogue. I love the album but that's a stretch for me.

 

Timothy Hay
Every Thought a Thought of You

 

The King Beetle
Cattail

 

My personal opinion...

This record is easily my least favorite full-length they’ve done. I don’t think it quite stacks up to the rest of their discography- especially following up the masterpiece of Brother, Sister.

Having said all that, I don’t dislike any of the songs and I’ve enjoyed my time revisiting the album these past few days.

 

My feeling is you can not love the album stylistically but you can’t deny the brilliance of much of it. It’s next to last in their discography for me, but there are some phenomenal moments and lyrical passages on that thing.

 

I think that's a fair opinion. For me I probably rank [A-->B] Life under this one.

 

It's All Crazy Floats around 4th-6th favourite, depending on the day. There's no mwY album I dislike or think is less than great.

 

Current Totals:

The King Beetle On A Coconut Estate - 7
Timothy Hay - 8

Every Thought A Thought Of You - 6
Cattail Down - 9

 

Come on King Beetle!!!

 

Yeah, aside from A-B, i think any of the others (esp. the last 5) could be my favorite on any given day really.

 

The King Beetle on A Coconut Estate
Every Thought A Thought of You

 

I think Goodbye, I! getting beat so bad by Timothy Hay is my biggest surprise of the bracket so far

 

Goodbye, I! is definitely an all time favorite of mine.

 

It’s funny. I’ve always been a big fan of that song, but I didn’t think it was that popular with people and was really surprised when they played it live. It’s a top 4 song on the album, but Timothy Hay might be my favorite.

 

I was under the impression Timothy hay was far and away gonna win this round so I’m surprised it’s not a bloodbath tbh

 

That's the power of The King Beetle on the Coconut Estate, baby.

Yes, this is intended to be read as the Pine Sol lady. I don't know why I'm so weird in this thread.

 

I don't like Timothy Hay that much.

 

Oh no, Timothy Hay!

I just love this song because my name is Tim(othy)

 

I have a tie to break and I'm going with Timothy Hay. The King Beetle On A Coconut Estate is a worthy opponent, but Timothy Hay is one of my favorites from this album and I just enjoy it more.

Round Three Final Totals:

The King Beetle On A Coconut Estate - 8
Timothy Hay - 8 (9)

Every Thought A Thought Of You - 7
Cattail Down - 9

Timothy Hay vs. Cattail Down

This album has grown on me a lot since its initial release - I've had a good time revisiting these songs the past few days. I'm looking forward to diving into Ten Stories again. Along with It's All Crazy! it's probably the record of theirs that I tend to revisit the least.
