They're still one of the most unbelievable bands of the 21st century

[@WhiskeyPieSometimes]

Women are one of those bands we'll look back on as better than we have them credit for. Noise pop for people who don't like noise music, psychedelic music for people who like alcohol and/or downers as much as weed and acid, and post punk for those born after post punk meant anything.

[@innrmlmode8582]

This is the insipid 2 chord garbage hipsters listen to coming down after their gram of coke is gone.

[@breakfastmachine]

@@innrmlmode8582 what bands do you listen to, dipshit?

[@ZodiacEntertainment2]

@@innrmlmode8582 Imagine thinking the amount of chords used is in any way related to the quality of the music or message.

This song sounds like having no sleep for a really long time

[@thomasr8185]

This is literally the most perfect song that has ever existed im in love. I have listened to their album through and through, but none of their songs hit as close to home as this... Thank you...

[@reljasaurus]

that oprah sticker is godlike

[@honeymoonisover]

Love this song, and the performance plus the camera work just make it feel even better and captures perfectly the whole dysphoria that the album as a whole represented.

[@MrCatPhoenix]

Happy 10 years

[@pnoplyr14]

Most people call music pretentious just because it doesn't appeal to them & they can't figure out why any one would want to make sounds like that.

[@KaraDanielle1996]

Is that oprah

[@atomiste4312]

I know there's a parallel universe where they kept going and became massive, and i hate not living in it

[@rj_ramon]

Two words: Oprah bass.

[@GeminiCove]

Sounds like a cross between The Velvet Underground and Joy Division.

[@carlospires7411]

The Ian and Lou comeback! Awsome!

[@tasteinmusic3510]

And a little bit like Syd Barret imo. I just discovered them, Public Strain is really great.

[@honeymoonisover]

I'd say something more like Television and Wire.
