s/t album suffers from frontloading of the two least interesting tracks, by omitting them and starting with un-deux they'd not only have a more concise, structured record, but they'd highlight their strengths.

I mean, it works out perfectly with a side A and a side B, both of (almost exactly) equivalent LP-able length, as a really really sweet album with no weak tracks, if you get rid of those infernal first two, maybe pre-release them as a single and leave them off the album. Really not what this band is good at. Unfortunately, "Drain Cosmetics", a thoroughly average song, is the band's most well-known (ESOJ makes the thoroughly good point on another thread that it's basically an S3 rip-off anyway). My edit would even make conceptual sense, with the (awesome) ambient-ish outro of "Sapphire Eyes High" closing out Side A and the beautifully tuneful, clear opening tones of "Don't Come Down Here" kicking off Side B. Never have I more wanted to go back in time and force a band to release their album properly. This is probably really aspie of me, but hell, it gnaws.

Say! I've given this quite a few spins lately, and it's really very good. Guess it does lay pretty close to My Bloody Valentine, but stands very well on its own feet. Check out "I just want to see your face".

Make sure to check them out live, they put on a great show in DC.
