It meanders a bit but contains some great moments, best of all is the Chauntelle wailing-out section & outro. Love

I've always liked the vibe of the song- slightly overwrought vocals aside, it's their purest indulgence of their shoegazier influences. I've come to find it a bit ponderous compared to their most recent material, but that keys over guitar outro remains absolutely classic. Definitely one of the high points of their catalog.

That's an astute observation about the shoegaze aspect, as it does stand out from their other songs as having a unique vibe to it. The outro keys coming in as the bombastic guitars are dying sounds sooooo eerie in a great way, gives me the chills. For me the quintessential version is on the Combinations live DVD, back in 2008 I was rather lukewarm on HATS until I saw that and my opinion quickly changed to "WOW!"

the guitar on the ep2 version is so raw i love it. i feel the HATS ep version sounded too compressed. also i like sherri's vocals on the ep2 version more. it sounded more soothing and emotional.
