![]() The present version feels much more complete, as Austin's slightly more mellow echoed vocals nicely complement the cleaner instrumentals. The original version of the track was enjoyable but slightly incohesive, featuring verses similar to those found on Peripheral Vision, with a chorus consisting of distorted guitar parts and more angsty vocal delivery. Take for instance the track 'I Would Hate You If I Could', which was actually on an EP released around the time Magnolia was. Much of the success Turnover have in this aesthetic shift comes from Getz's vocal style itself, in that it works just as well if not better here without any major change in his delivery.
