But it's such a compact, focused track. Me likes!

i'd sooner vote off "Sola System"...yes, it's smooth and dubby, but it's also slow and makes me sleepy. It drags. i prefered hearing the lyrics in the fast and claustrophobic "020202" archive track (that's from a dirty radioshow in 2004, since someone's bound to ask ). Plus, "sola system" was ruined for me when i read a review of AHDO that compared the track to a Sade outtake from the early 90's. Anyway, it seems kinda forced to me. "Ballet Lane" just flows so pretty-like!

Gah, I love "Ballet Lane." One of my favourite rainy-day songs, that one. But I know I'm in the minority; hell, I like "Trim" and "Ess Gee" as well. I'll still be voting for "Little Speaker" until it bites the dust, of course, and I still maintain that the "Twist" / "Sola Sistim" / "Little Speaker" combo doesn't contain anything more musically creative or interesting than "Ess Gee" or "Ballet Lane," while being about four times as long.

[the real stuff]

I'm with bavarian on this one, Ballet Lane is leagues ahead of Little Speaker in my eyes. I would've liked to see it live longer than this, oh well.

I cannot vote in these polls anymore.

I have no idea what these songs sound like.

I've owned the album since the day it came out, I've listened to it many times, and I like it well enough. But aside from the few obvious tracks, I cannot associate the names with the songs. If you asked me to tell you how 'Trim' goes versus 'Little Speaker', I would give you nothing. I really only know 'Mo Move', 'Two Months Off', and 'Dinosaur' by name. The rest are all nameless.

I think this is true for all music for me recently. When I get an album, I'll maybe know the names of a few songs that I really like or that really strike me. The rest of names just fade together.

swola sistim drags for soooo much.
on a day when ive actually had patience for it i couldnt believe that it went for another 2 minutes at the 4 minute mark.

off. off off off.

i'd sooner vote off momove and twist before ballet lane. i like that one a lot.

whats with the little speaker hate? again, second best on there...

[denkbat]

"Ballet Lane" is such a perfect little track after the loud "Dinosaur Adventure 3D"... Don't vote it off yet!

40 days off... if you know what i mean.

cool...

If i had to skip one track here it would surely be Little Speaker. It's not that bad but it's too long for the album IMO.
Ballet Lane just fits in there somehow... and i like it. I would not listen to it as a single track but in the album it works.
