Adam, totally agree.
"Sympathy" is in my opinion one of their most perfect tracks. And as it's often compared to "The Diamond Sea," I almost think it's an even more perfect epic closer. It feels like tiny waves crashing and building into a beautiful monsoon. And the organ! And the drums! And the OMG Kim can still sound sooo seductive with her vox when she wants to! And the words!
It's funny, I love every song on MS. Like I said it's my favorite album of the 00's. But once "Sympathy" ends it's like... it's like every other song is SIDE 1 and side 1 is perfect, but "Sympathy" is SIDE 2 all its own. It's an amazing entity by itself that weighs just as much sonically as everything that preceeds it on the record.
