Nope. To be honest, the earphoria version is so superior (adds Zoom and Jackboot to the end to make a proper jam that has structure) that the album version always seems incomplete, the guitar breakdown at the end feels utterly pointless

It’s ok but after sunflower it grinds the album to a halt

Track 5 on ( )

dunno. Even talking about a Low album in terms of momentum seems weird as the follow up tracks aren’t much quicker either.

I’ll have to look that up…

Unbelievable we’ve made it this far without someone mentioning Fitter Happier

I like Whitetail. Things We Lost… is a bit of a bridging album between their early sparser sound and the more expansive style they moved on to later, so I rather like the marrying of the two on that record.

For me, Whitetail is some early Low sandwiched between two later styled songs and I like the contrast.

They already did

Agree completely on the first one. Candy Girl on Trust has the same effect for me.

Disagree completely on the last one

Just goes on too long

Yeah candy girl doesnt do much for me either. Trust is pretty uneven but the highs are excellent

True, but they have melody which helps!

Yeah do. 14 minutes, raygun solo at the end by Iha, corgan going mental and smashing up shit with his guitar and a weird interlude into “somewhere over the rainbow”

The Subject Was Faggots on Gil Scott Heron’s Small Talk at 125th and Lenox - homophobic shit really undermines the right on angle through the rest of it.

Id agree with that. Great Destroyer is probably their most consistent album id say

Yeah that track really makes me wince. He spits it out with such venom :confused:

GET SCHWIFTY!

Well, I assume it was issued in the UK as I borrowed it from my local library. Neither tracklisting matches this particular version to the best of my recollection (I’m pretty sure that the first track on side A was ‘Chapter 24’!). Also, I remember that the cover image was just a pair of tits (excluding the other images used on the cover of the original vinyl issue): I like to imagine that this was sly reference to the two bandleaders of the post-Syd era, Waters and Gilmour.

Bollocks Pots & Pans is great, works as a great intro to the rest

Yeah, particularly Goodnight, which I love. Although maybe it didn’t quite suit Rid Of Me, as it’s kind of the beginning of the American Gothic theme that emerged on the next record. Pretty sure it would have fitted in nicely on that one, though…
