Potentially hot take: I think “Terrestrials” is the least interesting song on “Terrestrials”
It’s the one I come back to the least. All the other tracks feel like they stand out a bit more in my mind. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not at all a bad song, just doesn’t stand as tall next to the rest of the album. It feels like it’s missing a teeny bit of sauce/identity that the other tracks don’t struggle with. Maybe it’s the album ethos of streamlined less is more songwriting, taken to an extreme. All that being said, I really enjoyed hearing it live! I think that’s the best way to hear it.
Overall the album as a whole is amazing with no skips, and honestly the fact I feel this way speaks to the quality of the record as a whole.
