    When you hit a mothafucka, you hit that mothafucka Prestigious

    Seriously every time the chorus kicks in "buy me a shiny new machine" I immediately think "WHERE SHE WAWNTS TO BE THE QUEEN" hahaha. Even the verse groove and the rhythm of the lyrics is similar. But it's like, 1000000000000x better lyrics and better sounding guitars

    Wow. Hot take right there.

    I think L&L is my favorite. RS gives me weird feels.

    i've never heard of this compilation before and it has a sick recording of Fred Mascherino doing Lullaby and Matt Pryor doing Girl Why'd You Run Away

    The only thing wrong with RS is that it refuses to show up anywhere on my phone no matter how many times I add it.

    That the sequel song is better than the original. Haven't heard that before is all. I don't really have a favorite between the two.

    And weird feels in that it doesn't even make me sad in the way that sad music makes me sad, it makes upset or sad in a way I'm not comfortable with, so I don't put it on a lot even though it's brilliant.

    Also RT is underrated but there are a few not-so-great tracks among the insta-classics. Civil Twilight is top 5 Wkrthns

    RT is probably their most uneven but the bookends are among their best, utilities especially
     
  23. Reunion Tour has been my favorite for a long time, but lately Reconstruction Site has been gaining on it. Both are really spectacular albums though.
