When I first heard this album four years ago, I admittedly wasn't that crazy about it. Listen #50 was when I finally broke down and bought vinyl copies of their entire discography.
"Cruel" is one of those rare songs that helped radically change how I saw the guitar and what it could do. Happy 10th to her best album, and fingers crossed we get a piece about Love This Giant a year from now.
I don't think words can really express how much I love this, but this is one of those rare albums where the love and wonder it inspired in me is just as bright as it was the first time I heard it. It's maybe the Velvet Underground S/T of the 21st century? Hard to say.
Also "Headless Horseman" will never not be devastating.
They're such angular personalities that their bodies from the chest down are just perpetually out of focus.
(Also I'll give my left everything for them to play the States.)
