Why isn't this ever talked about even though it's clearly better than Presence?

[Jace Perez]

Wow I almost didn't think anyone else shared that opinion with me.

Honestly, Presence has no songs that as as bleak and emotionally effecting as Hubble, has no hooks as good as The Hermit Crab, none that have such a focus on satisfying melodies or good pop songwriting like every single one on this album does.

One HUGE HUGE HUGE reason Presence can never live up to the album it is trying to imitate (you know which one that is) is because the song writing is nowhere near as purposeful. Here he fixed up his songwriting and got rid of the noise. It's much more psychedelic and much more memorable because of that.

Also, he split up the filler noise tracks into a few untitled ones instead of placing 12 minutes of useless ambience in the middle of the fucking album.

Should I go see Lush tomorrow?

[Josiah Stewart]

yes

[Levi Butler]

Finally listened to Nowhere and I felt it was the best of "the big 3" (based on first impressions of all 3)
Where should I go next? Isn't there a flowchart?

[Thomas Howard]

Tell us how it is too.

[Jason Butler]

I was listening to Wild Nothing, Beach Fossils and Beach House and they all seem like light version of themselves. Like they have found a great idea but didn't go through with it to the end, just meddled with it a little
what are the full-on version of them?
