u/xxdon_quixotexx 27d ago

They are both gems though, I’m biased bc Polaroids was the first song I heard by them lol

And it is just so beautiful. I once (around 2007 or 2008) made a video of some polar bear footage combined with the intro. It fitted the mood and everything.

u/subtxtcan 27d ago

Pulmonary Archery is still one of the greatest intros of all time IMO, and the song as a whole stands up, but Water wings and .44 are overall my favs

I was introduced to the band with Pulmonary Archery video clip.
So chaotic yet so tidy.

u/xxdon_quixotexx 26d ago

I got introduced to AOF with the “Counterparts And Number Them” music video and a lyric video for Polaroids of Polar Bears on YouTube some years ago

u/SnooStories8217 27d ago

Every song on that record is my favorite.

But if I had to choose one.

It would be Little Girls Pointing and Laughing.

Your three picks were definitely my favourites too back in the 00s. I don't listen to ST front to back very often anymore but I keep coming back to those ones.
