Does anybody else absolutly love this song? When I first got Are You Sleepy, I didn't really think it was that good, mainly because it was hidden on the second half of the album, which pales in comparision to the first half. But like, after I actually listened to it, I just totally fell in love with it. It's def. one of my top favorite songs of all time, maybe even #1. I just love the how somebody (idk who it is) echo's what Scott is singing. I love the sentiment Scott is expressing. That song so accuratly expresses how I feel so often. Just a sense of amazement at life and yet being terrified by it all as well. Falling in love and having it be absolutly amazing and yet, some little thing in the back of your head that is scared of it all. It's such a beautiful and emotional song. It's just utterly perfect. I just cannot describe how good this song is. Does anybody else feel the same?

yeah are you sleepy is pretty tight all the way through. grin is very good; however, best on the album clearly goes to glue.

Grin is an awesome song I can listen to it it over & over again.
I love the little guy in the background thats repeating the lead with that megaphone or whatever its called. Towards the songs climax it sounds like mabe the little dude is beating him with the instument thingy while the guy is screaming "No don't Go!" "Somebody Help Me Somebody" clasic catchy and slightly creepy song. I Loved It. Definately up there with "Glue" & "Walnuts"

The only song on the album that I don't love is Lead.

I definitely love the song... probably wouldn't call it my favorite though. I don't know if I could pick a favorite.

Grin is amazing. This albums is one of my favorites. Fluid gets me wet everytime i listen to it. It has made so many appearances on mix tapes/cd's

the "grin" 45 was sold to me for $1 this weekend out of a box called "the death-of-indie-rock box."

(adding: not trying to be snarky. just saying it happened. it was funny.)

I agree that the second part of the album pales in comparison to its first, but Grin certainly is the diamond among the last few tracks. It may not be the best song on the album - I think I'd give that to Glue or Fluid - but it definitely brings the happy to me... or something.

i used to think that the echo thing really ruined the song. im getting used to it but im still debating wether it would be better without it. i do like the song though.
