It’s fine. The drumming is still mildly irritating.

See, I like the drumming. Seemed to stand out more than on their previous records.

Overall, think there are some good tracks on the album, but have only listened through once, so not terribly familiar yet.

Pressing is okay. Has the typical white vinyl crackle on both sides. Not sure if the black pressing is any better.

I have the white but it’s the European pressing from optimal and it’s silent. It’s more likely that whatever shit plant XL is using in the states now made a crackly mess than the colour.
 
I still think Wall of Eyes is the best album of the three. Cutouts starts kind of slow for me, but I think it ends on a high note.

I kind of see what @Joe Mac and @zdkaiser are saying on the drumming, it does seem a bit brighter this time around. It kinda drowns some sounds on several songs that I really like...

Bodies Laughing does feel like classic Radiohead(I know it's an old song) I kind of like when Thom reverts back to his Radiohead days on several Smile songs. Something about the voice that takes me back...


Also I've been trying to get some tickets for the "Everything" tour in Japan but haven't been able, you need a Japanese phone number and account... If anyone knows how to buy or get them, please let me know 🙏

I kinda just don’t like the drummer on any of the albums. He’s too busy for me. Bear in mind that I really don’t like jazz. It did work better live. It’s the weakest set of songs so far, but then it is the leftover songs from the second album sessions so that’s no surprising. It isn’t by any means bad, I did quite enjoy it without anything really standing out.

I feel like if you took all the best songs from the second and third albums and made a single album, it still wouldn't best anything off the first album.

It's funny, The Smile didn't click for me until the second album; all I'm seeing since is it doesn't hold a candle. Tastes are subjective, but I'm clearly in the minority.

Still haven't listened to Cutouts yet.

Yeah I mean I'm sure a case could be made for any of the three. I haven't seen any reviews of any of them so I had no idea what the prevailing thoughts were on them. But I've tried with the Wall and Cutouts and they both just leave me wanting to listen to the debut.
