Is this their best album?

yes, it actually bothers me that Sup Forums doesn't recognize this as their true magnum opus, as charming as thier other albums are I don't think they achieve the MAGIC that sung tongs has

That isn't their first

no

nope but Feels is

It's their album that I resonate with the most musically and emotionally

I mean god damn

I really appreciate:

- The layers of guitar and the off pattern strumming

- The intense electronic /sample based influences that mesh seamlessly with the acoustic nature of the album

- The strange, dissect-able time signatures and key changes

- The great attention to lyrical detail and the way the lyrics contribute to the music percussively and melodically, but also they way they seem to throw meaning and clarity out the window

- The vast array of song types and song structures, but a cohesive type of sound on that carries through each song

- The rawness and intimacy of the percussion and the recordings in general

- The chant-able and memorable melodies found on each song, esp. Leaf House, WCWAR, Kids on Holiday, College, We Tigers, Mouth Wooed Her

- The balls to create one of the best acoustic ambient/noise songs ever

- The overwhelming joy and fervor found in songs like Winters Love, Sweet Road, and We Tigers

What I don't appreciate:

- The order of the songs. The last three songs don't follow the same rollercoaster of song structure that the rest of the album leads you through.


I will probably listen to this album for the rest of my life. It is one of my favorite albums, if not my favorite. I love it and it has altered my perception of music and life in general, in ways that are too personal to share and too lengthy to write out.

Good post and nice dubs. This is a great articulation of everything that makes sung tongs so special. Truly anco's mangum o piss
