    I got this album off of your top albums list. Absolutely love the opener. I need to give the rest of the album some more listens. btw, another spider long… I Miss You by Blink-182.
    And as I stare, I counted
    The webs from all the spiders
    Catching things and eating their insides
    Like indecision to call you
    And hear your voice of treason
    Will you come home and stop this pain tonight?

    It was probably you who recommended this album to me back when it was brand new... I think I listened to it a couple times in late 2009, thought it was decent but didn't really spend a lot of time with it, then I came back to it a year later and I was like "Wow, I really missed out on some good stuff when I wasn't giving this one my full attention." "Autumn" was an early favorite that attached itself to memories of neighborhood walks I took in late 2010 documenting fall colors in my neighborhood (which happens REALLY late in Southern California, like around Thanksgiving), then "Real Time" caught my attention in early 2011, and I tend to flip-flop on which one is my favorite. The two runners-up are "Flowers and Fireworks" and "Greener", both of which were very comforting to me during one of the most difficult years of my adult life. I remember being struck by how the term "Greener" never actually occurs in the lyrics, but it kind of has a double meaning - the grass being greener on the other side of the fence, or being green with envy. I ended up writing my own song called "Greener" at around that time (well, song lyric at least - I don't remember if I ever bothered coming up with chords or a melody for it) that kind of springboarded off of that idea, as a way to deal with conflicted feelings about someone I was a bit jealous of and also kind of wanted to impress.
    I never really did a deep dive on this album, but every time I listen to it I discover something new that I didn't fully appreciate on earlier listens. It's aged amazingly well, for a one-off record by an obscure band that never did anything else afterward.

      Yes, I remember recommending this album to you and being glad that you were giving it a try. So glad it ended up connecting with you!

      @@Ineverglow For what it's worth, out of the remaining albums you've listed that you want to do a deep dive on, I'm REALLY looking forward to hearing your eventual discussion of All Star United's debut. That's one of those that I enjoyed in the 90s, but didn't fully realize how absolutely solid it was until I revisited it just a couple years ago. It's in my Top 20 for the decade.
