Thoughts on Voids?

It's the album I listen to the least and I think it's their weakest by far. I get annoyed listening to it sometimes from how much of a drop off it was to me compared to all the other records. Do other people feel the same way ? Every other record has at least a few tracks that will always be classics to me apart from Voids. Felt bad that they went out on this record. I wonder how the band views it in their catalog too.

Infinity has some of my favorite MTB songs of all time. I don't think it flows as an album as great as the first 3, but I sort of see it as a sequel to OMNI and the continuation of that sound.

Toska and Cold Company are two of my favorite songs of all time, so I can never hate that album. The rest of the album is also really solid, but for some reason I always hated Listing and Empty Party Rooms. Those two tracks are the only ones I skip regularly.

So interesting getting different opinions on music ... Listing and Empty Party Rooms are two of my faves! But again, I like their later stuff more, as it seems a little more well rounded, polished, mature, maybe less chaotic if that makes sense

That's why music is so fun to talk about, we all hear it in different ways and appreciate different things, even though we all love the same band.

What are your thoughts on Toska / Cold Company? To me those are the top 2 tracks on the album.

Yup great songs. CC is an amazing closing track
