Re: Second Toughest In The Infants Survivor Final Round
Yeah, I picked "Juanita." See, I think that the first part of "Juanita / Kiteless / To Dream Of Love," up to the six minute mark, is brilliant. The way it builds up, the guitar sound, Karl's vocals...pure bliss. So, to this very day, I still can't get over how it just stops abruptly and goes into "Kiteless," then meanders for like six more minutes before concluding with "To Dream Of Love." In my opinion, the live version on Everything, Everything has the better arrangement (although the quality of the vocals in the first part leaves much to be desired), with "Juanita" first, then "To Dream Of Love" with the "Juanita" music, and only a little bit of "Kiteless."

But "Banstyle / Sappys Curry," on the other hand, is absolutely perfect for all fifteen minutes. It develops so unpredictably. And I have never heard any other band make any sound like the guitar in the second half, ever. It's absolutely unique. The production has such a sensuous, melancholy quality to it. So, for me, "Banstyle" wins.
