I've been really enjoying this album. Lot's of these tracks get stuck in my head, some of Terri's best.

I especially love Sandra.

I think I'm going to take the best tracks from this, Zen Thrills etc and make a killer best of Terri playlist.

This album is badass. Top 5 of series or close to.

I'm surprised at how low it is on lot's of peoples Ipecac ratings. Close to top 5 for me as well!

Probably 'cause a lot of people are Teri haters in this place for whatever reason.

Don't like her much but love this album

[PliskinTMV]

Don't hate her but this album is not my cup of tea.

Superficially bonkers; but so many interesting sounds (love the percussion) and it feels like a disturbing therapy session... I'm not sure there's anything quite like this anywhere else...

Love this album. But I came here to say one thing:

"Victor" is hella eerie after that Florida school shooting. Listen to those lyrics.

Probably one of the finest collections Omar provided us through Ipecac

diente azul: teresa enters ximena mode

I'm pretty sure that since my first listen I've believed this track was originally done by Ximena and Teri sang over it. I've listened many many times very closely and I think there's at least one vocal track of Ximena that is slightly to the right of center throughout the whole song. It's somewhat buried in the layers. The melody and vocal style is very Ximena. I've always wished I could get the answer to this, but how can you ask anyone involved without feeling like a dick? Am I the only one hearing a duet? This song is so somber and beautiful and I'm really in love with it.

Why would teri sing ximena's vocal melody and lyrics?

[A\/\/]

Don‘t you know? Omar writes ALL the music, down to the drum fills.

[Andrewf]

teri and ximena wrote their own vocal melodies and lyrics

Shut the fuck up, Andrew. You weren't there, man

Wallahi.

I wonder if Eli was meant for this record.

[swan_song1977]

what makes you think that, doesn't seem poppy enough for the rest of the album

on that, in looking up the ASCAP info from the clouds hill thread I saw that Omar and company are credited for not just Eli but the true detective theme. surely a mistake?

[Andrewf]

Nope, it was used in the series
