Congratulations (the actual song) is probably my most played song ever such a banger. I can’t listen to Kids that often cause it’s just too nostalgic for me. Teenage years in a tune
It's probably the song by them that's grown on me the most (that and the youth) and it's just such a fantastic end to the album that hits right in the feels after such a rollercoaster of an album.
meh I think Oracular Spectacular is their 2nd best behind congratulations honestly. Little dark age and loss of life are both fantastic albums, but I don't think either of them capture the cohesiveness of congratulations, or have the bangers on the level that Oracular has.
As much as the other songs on Oracular get overshadowed by the big hits, they're all still really good songs and fit weirdly well into the second half of the album.
LDA surpassed Congratulations for the top spot for me. It has the experimentation if congratulations while not shunning their ability to write a killer pop song.
comgratulations has been my number one ever since i heard it years ago,although LDA has definitely risen in my standing over the past few months. Had always shrugged it off after feeling When You Die in particular was pretty corny however after really really vibing with songs like One Thing Left to Try and Me and Micheal my opinion on the album as a whole has risen drastically
