I have a weird relationship to this album and basically any mid-00s indie rock where I basically downloaded 4 or 5 tracks from each album, like this one, the New Pornographer's Twin Cinema, The Go Team's Thunder Lightning Strike for example. And now when I go back and listen to those albums, those 4 or 5 songs sound enormous and memorable and the rest of the album sounds tiny and insignificant. Another example would be something like the song The Funeral from the first Band of Horses album.
It's weird because these albums didn't have singles that were played on the radio, and because of that everyone has their own inner catalog of "the important songs" which might be different for each person rather than universal, like during the grunge era. If you go back and listen to Nirvana albums for instance the singles massively stand out from the rest of the album and it's distracting and makes the listen less cohesive.
Anyways the first track on that album is garbage

i was exactly like this but once you listen to albums as a whole a few times you start to pick new favorites and while i dont think the singles from an album will never not stand out, the other songs start to come into play more and more with additional listens

I feel sort of like these. I got into OP's album because of Over and Over Again, which I heard on some car commercial back in the day. It was a period when I listened almost exclusively to songs I heard on car and perfume ads. Another song that stuck with me since then is The Wanderer by Jil is Lucky. Anyway, I only recently listened to Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's debut album as a whole and I ended up massively dissapointed, while the first songs shaped up like a good start to an enjoyable album, the only song I liked by the end of it was Over and Over Again.

I spent most of the mid-2000s listening to a lot of albums because they were on pfm's BNM and not really knowing why they were there.
so in the late 2000s i finally went to some of the shows of BNM bands and i was even more confused. then i stopped listening to music.
why am I here?

It's was a strange time in music journalism, a lot of bands got hyped that probably shouldn't have been and this was one of them
Here's a good later-day CYHSY song, maybe better than anything on their debut I haven't decided
