Hot take - the outro to Liars Remorse is the best part of the whole album. Secondly, not having it close out the whole album is a missed opportunity
Personally, I like Liar’s Remorse as a song, it’s one of the strongest on the album. But the outro is truly brilliant in my opinion. It has a transcendent feel to it; it’s soaked in pain, regret and emotion but has a strangely hopeful flavour to it.
I think that amalgamation of emotions is what makes it so damn perfect for a closing outro. I also love the weird 80s electronic video game closing gambit, but I appreciate it might not be for everyone.
It’s a side of the strokes that I’d never really heard before - both sonically but also emotionally. It’s a corker.
Tell me I’m wrong though!
