It's been #1 with me before. I remember that day it came out after all the delays.

I had a song called "BCMB Sux" for the next thing but scrapped it.

DI moved up from the bottom on this listen. EIG went down a few. I love all these records, in fact, EIG has two of my favorite Shellac songs so it being at the bottom says something.

On this listen through this is how I'd rank them:
1. The first two 7"s (is this cheating? I dunno but I love those two little records and the AC/DC cover on the other 7")

2. At Action Park

3. 1000 Hurts

3. Terraform

4. Dude Incredible

5. To All Trains

6. End of Radio (Peel Sessions)

7. EIG

My ranking is going to surprise even me, the Shellac liker.

I did a good listen to "To All Trains" when it came out, then kinda stayed away for similar reasons. I think I spun the first two 7"s over the summer, but I am ready to dive back in.

When a band uses AI art on a fucking album cover, I dont know how seriously I can take that band. You know how many starving illustrator/artists are out there? It's an ecosystem be part of it, or fuck off.

I really like bands that sort of sound like Young Marble Giants.
