LEAST FAV TRACK: SIPHON SONG

SQUID - O MONOLITH / 2023 / WARP / ART-PUNK, POST-ROCK

Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?

[Ben-mrrt]

Squid’s really come into their own on this project. All of that clarinet practicing seems to have finally paid off.

[MNTNPG]

Fantano is definitely putting on a lot of yellow flannels for a year that he claims is mid. Glad to see it though, this album definitely deserves it

[MUSE]

Yellow flannel back-to-back for King Krule and Squid is a massive W

[andrewmatheson]

Siphon song was one of my favourites! The song is so brooding and the lyrics are so mysterious it feels like an alien abduction.

[QuincyHinch]

if this would called "Squids see Ghosts" you would give it a 10 melon

[Ellz]

To anyone who hasn't seen them, I cannot recommend seeing them live enough.

[josephalexanderpreston]

if this was called o melonlith he wouldve given it a 10

[miguel-vocb]

Siphon song blew me away, very immersive song and so well produced. The vocoder fits in perfectly into it and i cant imagine it any different. My favourite song on the album

[moshhk]

Been waiting on this review, really strong followup project

[maxpogfrog]

This is easily Squid’s best work, since Squid Game.

[tomdesmet]

For me they already went head to head with BCNR’s FTFT for my best album of 2021 so reaaallly excited for this one

[trilobiteterror]

Vibes and influences from Primus, The Residents, early Pixies, early Modest Mouse, and Television?!

Well now I'm certainly going to have to give this album a listen.

[gersonchacon]

While listening to this album, it reminded me of Television, which is amazing because Television is one of my favorite bands ever

[MisterBrimm]

NICE! Squid was always a strong prospect and they are becoming the band we always knew they were.

[romilrh]

Without fail, this man manages to put the best track as his least fav. Siphon Song is incredible

[terranfoley]

the second chorus of the blades sends me everytime

[ryanschick]

Siphon Song is incredible. Actually gives me Swans "Some Things We Do" vibes

[jdixon]

Still prefer Bright Green Field, was so happy to see them live after that album came out and looking forward to seeing then again in October

[mykedsgn]

Perfect album. Siphon Song is my favorite track on the record though

[pyllboxx]

This record is so unique I’ve literally never heard anything like it
