Sorry, that's one I prized out of my ballot with a crowbar to make room for other stuff.

"When We Two Parted" is a favorite... it's got personality
― swing out sister: live in new donk city (geoffreyess), Thursday, 17 June 2021 18:50 (three years ago) link
yeah "when we two parted" just missed the ranked section of my ballot, now i kinda wish i ranked it

I know this is a lame thing to say but I feel "teenage wristband" was a decent-sized hit in a slightly different universe

bit into a rotten one xp
― mookieproof, Thursday, 17 June 2021 19:02 (three years ago) link
xp that applies to so many dulli songs lol
you wanna go for a riiiide

love the vanessa carlton intro
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Thursday, 17 June 2021 19:05 (three years ago) link
yeah that piano part is brilliant
also love all those vocal parts in the bridge
― ufo, Thursday, 17 June 2021 19:09 (three years ago) link
my ex used to refer to teenage wristband as dulli’s tori amos song, due to the piano; i thought this was facile, so we broke up
(not really)

one of the biggest surprises for me was seeing how well this did. it's fine but not really a standout among their post-reunion work or anything?
― ufo, Thursday, 17 June 2021 19:32 (three years ago) link
it's a clear standout! those strings! that choogling groove
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Thursday, 17 June 2021 19:35 (three years ago) link
it does choogle btw, won't hear arguments against that!

I voted for "Oriole," whether because Brad swayed me or of my own accord, I could't tell you right now.

love the interplay between the guitars on this one, kinda post-punk

"oriole" is amazing, dulli apparently dreamed the chord progression in the second half of the song

Didn't get around to a ballot in the end, but loving the rollout. Biggest revelation so far has been There's Been An Accident, which has taken the top of my head off three times today. Omerta fucking rules.
― Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Thursday, 17 June 2021 20:05 (three years ago) link
didn't vote for blame, etc. but love the funhouse mirror motown thing it has going on
