I have been listening to TWOISM alot lately and actually just got done with listening to it now...and is it me...or does Basefree (track4) seem a little outta place on this album. To me it seems to disrupt the entire mood of the record. Dont get me wrong, I like the track, but it has more of a " Geogaddi harshness " to it. I know I know, it was recorded WAY BEFORE Geogaddi, but I just seem to think it would have fit better on that album instead of TWOISM.
Ha, maybe its the lack of sleep that is causing it to get on my nerves when listening to the album in full, but does anyone else see where I am coming from?

I just thought the same thing when I heard it. It's a good song, but a strange place to put it.

Maybe it was the intention...? You know... start all chilled and wake you up again with Basefree then continue on the chilled out vein.

Yeah I had that thought also, maybe the boys wanted to throw a curveball in there...Like I had said, not a BAD track, but nowhere near the feel and atmosphere of the others on the album.
IMO

I dunno... if you ignore the drums and concentrate on melody then it goes well (for me anyway)...

My thoughts exactly.
I like Twoism, mainly because of Melissa Juice (one of my favourite BoC tracks) and Iced Cooly.

yes it is different, but i think the album needs breaking up a bit. i think iced cooly and basefree do that. basefree sounds like gescom to these ears...not a bad thing!

do you think basefree is an anagram of freebase?

Hmmm...after listening to the track, thru a mixer with the drums turned WAY down, I STILL COULDNT fit this into the puzzle of TWOISM....
Anyone else have an opinion?

Yes, I take it to either mean freebasing (it is more aggro than other BoC ;) ) or to be "free of a base"- homeless/wandering.

I also think that Basefree is out of place on Twoism but Iced Cooly disturbs me more. It seems so naivistic and stupid to me.
