TIL that Swaziland has changed its name to eSwatini.

I submitted a band I only know about because they opened for another band I like once, a band I've never met another fan of, that seems to have dropped off the face of the Earth after releasing their album. But it's a pretty good album, and now I'm gonna make y'all listen to the first track.

Is average or decent better

Decent is better

It goes GOOD -> DECENT -> AVERAGE -> MEDIOCRE and I used to have BAD and DID NOT FINISH but I haven't had a reason to care about anything I disliked that much so they don't get rated anymore

No "GREAT?"

Welp, I did not expect that. But glad everyone liked it so much! I'd definitely check out the rest of the album, unfortunately the band was not very long-lived and I guess they have one more album (EP?) but I've never heard it. Other favorite tracks on this album (All At Once):

-Window Frames
-Programs
-What Are You

They're all good, but some of them are just better than others is all.

I checked out the album and it's so bizarre that the reissue removed 1. The title track, which 2. Is one of the best songs on the album

The Gabriel Kahane album was cool too, Kensington a bit more mixed & suffers from production issues pretty consistently

It is kind of weird they removed the title track, yeah. Especially when the album wasn't that long to begin with. But my brother and I bought it from their merch table at a show and that version didn't have the title track, so I didn't even know about it until years later when I started listening to music on YouTube consistently. And by then the track felt kind of weird to me, like a rare b-side or something.
