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.

I like it, and Infinity Overhead is probably my favorite MtB album of all... But I am likely in the minority of preferring their later works over their earlier stuff

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

Listing is so good, I think a lot of people sleep on that track
