"We Should Have Never Lived Like We Were Skyscrapers" is one of those cleverer-than-thou song titles that's long, pretentious, and altogether undeserving of seriousness. Yet it's full of chaotic meaning, the kind indie musicians strive for and then deny striving for just to keep their ambivalent cred. It's pretty much perfect for the song itself: a burbling rush to nowhere that comes across as a math-rocky Polyphonic Spree. When I read back over that description I feel like I should hate the band, but I don't. In fact, I think I love those crazy skyscrapers.
