Another Head For Hydra
Wendy & Betsy
Tortoises All The Way Down
New Wine, New Skins

 

Flee, Thou Matadors! pretty close to a toss-up
Wendy & Betsy probably my two least favourite songs on the record, though I still like both
Winter Solstice another really close race
New Wine, New Skins

 

Oh you guys. NW, NS is amazing as is this entire album, but Michael feels like the moment the entire band’s discography has been building toward.

In the words of Bartok the Bat from the hit 1997 animated film Anastasia, “This can only end in tears.”

 

Flee
Wendy
Tortoises
Michael

 

Haha, I just don't feel that way about the song at all. It's good though.

 

Flee, Thou Matadors!

Hydra hasn’t really grown on me at all since release, meanwhile flee is so groovy!

 

Another [Vote] For Hydra – Flee is pretty good, but I don't really like the chorus.
Wendy & Betsy – No contest.
Tortoises All the Way Down – Winter Solstice is also very good, but the ending of Tortoises puts it over the top for me.
Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore – Again, the ending gives this one the edge for me.

 

Counterpoint: King of Spain and Queen of Portugal. King of Spain and Queen of Portugal. King of Spain and Queen of Portugal. King of Spain and Queen of Portugal.

 

Counter counterpoint: “Ever felt like Noah on an overcast day? David, take down your harp and play.”

But I agree with your vote. I voted for Hydra too.

 

I like the rest of the song, and the part you quoted, but it's really just that that ruins it for me. I think the melody is weak/annoying and the vocals are lacking there too.

 

I think that was my least favorite moment and song on the album first few listens. I don’t know what changed my mind. I think it’s that the song is more or less about him going crazy and the mindless repetition amplifies it.

 

It still just takes me out of it every single time.

 

Heh fair point, that part actually took me out of the song for a while. But unfortunately there’s no part of hydra I love

 

that was immediately my favorite moment of the record. reminded me of cfutf
