Other Animals isn’t an easy album to warm up to, although I like it well enough after listening to it very occasionally over the past two years. The initial disappointment can be chalked up to one thing: they put a different rendition of “Delivery” on the album than the one I first heard.

Erase Errata’s brand of sharp-edged post-punk can be a bit off-putting at first. “Delivery’s” guitar lines careen all over the place before the song seems to suffer a mental breakdown before the first minute’s up. On the album, the song lurches around quite a bit more and the vocals are different—less deadpan, more histrionic.

I guess the mix works better in the context of the album, but this version, taken from their 2000 self-titled EP, is my personal favourite.
