Collected Animals

We had a similiar thread for Panda Bears Grim Reaper and I saw the first few suggestions for alternate tracklists in the main Painting With thread. But I thought it to be a good idea to have them all in a separate thread especially because there are still tracks to be released, so here it goes:

1. FloriDada
2. Spilling Guts
3. On Delay
4. Lying In The Grass
5. Golden Girl
6. Natural Selection
7. Bagels In Kiev
8. The Burglars
9. Hocus Pocus
10. Vertical
11. Summing The Wretch
12. Recycling

I like the original tracklist but this record is so full of good songs that it's even quite enjoyable when it is put on shuffle. My only gripe with the original one is that Golden Gal should be somewhere in the middle as it's the only song which could serve as a breather. I put Hocus Pocus, Vertical and Summing The Wretch at the end because they are probably my favourites and it's cool to have such a powerful streak of songs before being eased out by Recycling.

Looking forward to other suggestions and what you guys came up with!

To be clear, I love the album and track order the way it is. But for fun...

On Delay
Vertical
Spilling Guts
FloriDada
Lying in the Grass
Natural Selection
Golden Gal
Summing the Wretch
Bagels in Kiev
Hocus Pocus
The Burglars
Recycling

FloriDada is such a good standalone track I still haven't shaken it's "single"y-ness yet so it still feels a little beit weird to me as an album opener

so here's what I been thinkin...
in some fantasy land Floridada could've been released with Hounds of Bairro as a b-side before the album came out (a la Honeycomb/Crimson) and then have the album open with gnip gnop

tbh i think the perfect tracklist would be as it is but switch golden gal and recycling. recycling is an amazing track but not that great as a closer, golden gal is much more climatic and emotional, and would fit as an ending track.

Bizarre. I came here to post an alternate tracklist and see there's a new thread for it! Bonzai!

This is something I accidentally shuffled into and it's incredible!

Floridada
Bagels in Kiev
Recycling
Natural Selection
Vertical
The Burglars
Hocus Pocus
Golden Gal
On Delay
Spilling Guts
Summing the Wretch
Lying in the Grass

Seriously, TRY THIS.

I accidentally had shuffle turned on but it never once let me down.

I can't listen to Floridada, I always just start at Hocus Pocus. It's a weird thing in a way because I listened to it right up until the day the album freebirded and really enjoyed it. It just doesn't psychologically belong, which I know is daft. It's taken me a while to enjoy LITG and not just skip that, too. I'm probably enjoying it more than I ever have, funnily enough.

I feel the same way. I just keep starting at hocus pocus.

FloriDada is one of my favs. Get's me hyped!

Listening to the alb on shuffle in the car last night gave me a heightened appreciation/reminder of their supreme sequencing abilities. Though I didn't enjoy most of the particular shuffle session, I did notice that most any of the songs could together well in most any order, with all of their beginning/ending 'linking' noises. Does anyone else agree?

My current list order is the album beginning with HoPo - rest of the order is the same, with LITG and Floridada as the final two tracks. (Vertical goes into The Burglars nicely, btw) LITG served as a great transition/setup for Floridada - which made me and my bf experience the song in a whole new light (it's been very hit and miss for me, depending on my mood). Switching it to become the album's playful and joyous finale was a really pleasant surprise.

HoPo
Vert
The Burgs
NatchSelect
Bages in Kiev
Ondelay
SpillGuts
SumWretch
GolGal
Re-syke
(NatchSelect?)
LITG
Floridada

just a thought:
another option for this list is to put NatchSelect in between Re-syke and LITG -- I haven't listened to that whole flow of songs yet, but the last lopped-off sounds of Re-syke flow almost seamlessly into NatchSelect, just fyi.
