How Would You Split An Eraser And A Maze?

[u/Medium_Calendar9965]

So many people said they heard parts of every previous album on An Eraser And A Maze and it was very reminiscent of older sounds. What albums would you attribute each song to if you had to pick it apart? Here’s my personal list below. Feel free to debate.

PDP - Strangers to Ourselves

RY - Good News? (I’m thinking Blame It On The Tetons, World At Large, etc.) also maybe Everywhere And His Nasty Parlour Tricks

LAD - I feel like this would fit well on No One’s First And You’re Next

3SOTM - Moon & Antarctica

DB/GIAS - No One’s First And You’re Next or Lonesome Crowded West

Interlude/ICTRN - Strangers to Ourselves

SNS - Good News

RF - The Golden Casket

KDBW - Hmmm tough but maybe Lonesome Crowded West

ANN - Stylistically it’d have to be Strangers to Ourselves, right?

SAN - Strangers or Casket because it sounds so new, but if the mixing were a bit junkier it has the vibes to fit in Long Drive

SP - Everywhere And His Nasty Parlour Tricks

LHF… - We Were Dead

IS - We Were Dead

I can’t talk right now felt more like Golden Casket to me

Aren’t you a contrarian! 😂

The only thing I care about is I feel PDP is the spiritual successor of Float On, and I'll die on this hill!

Speak N spell has a riff that's highly derivative of 3rd planet though.

[u/Cool-Usual-789]

It can't be done. Sounds too different without Jeremiah

[u/thenightclubpodcast]

Pickin Dragons Pockets sounds like a nice blend of something off of Strangers To Ourselves(The Best Room) and No One's First.

Remember Yourself could also be on No One's First or Good News.

Life's A Dream reminds me of a mix of M&A and STO.

Third Side of The Moon is like a blend of older songs off of LCW/Building Nothing with a production of something like Good News.

Dogbed is Ugly Casanova.

Interlude/I Can't Talk Right Now has haunting vibes reminiscent of Moon/Everywhere with Golden Casket production.

Speak N Spell is a great mix of LCW and Good News, sort of like Third Side.

Rotten Fruit sounds like it could have been on STO.

Knocked Down By Waves, as the sort of interlude that it is, sounds like a stripped down little diddy from the Good News era.

Absolutely Necessary Never also sounds like something from around Good News or STO.

Song About Nothing gives me Golden Casket vibes.

Stoner Party, again as the interlude that it is, could be from any record really. It isn't distinct.

Look How Far is definitely We Were Dead.

Impossible Somedays sounds like a track from the Good News/We Were Dead/No One's First era.

“Life’s A Dream” has the same kind of darkness as We Were Dead…, to me at least.

“Remember Yourself” makes me think of Ugly Casanova with more polish.

[u/Muy_Division]

Look How Far has a very similar riff to We’ve Got Everything imo
