Story time

I remember the first time I heard Feels. I had just gotten into AC after years of vowing to never listen to them. I got through MPP, loved it, SJ perplexed me but is now my fav, and Sung Tongs really threw me off but I still loved it.

Now Feels, I kinda did not care for honestly. Thought it was kinda uneventful. Kinda bland. Feels. I know. Now, I had kinda mentally checked out in my listening session by the time I hit Banshee Beat, but this track got my attention and I was waiting for it to really kick into gear, but it never turns into a Grass or a Purple Bottle or a Fickle Cycle, where it becomes explosive. But Banshee Beat was a really serene and special moment despite the song not going how I anticipated or the album being what I was hoping for.

I'd still rank Feels as my least fav of the big 4 AC albums, but in the years since I've come to love and appreciate it a lot more, and by the way, there was a gig AC did early in the Time Skiffs era when it sounded more like we were going to get announcements soon and AC opened their set with Banshee Beat which I thought was a strange choice, but boy oh boy was I wrong. The fucking energy, despite it being such a chill song... man I wish I was at that gig. I have a habit of throwing Banshee Beat as the first song in my AC playlists now because of that set.

Freaking. Awesome. Song.
