I still think LMI is better. Too bad Garm doesn't like metal anymore.

Yeah, LMI is pretty good, it's a though one. Sometimes I change my mind but since maybe 2 month I'm all over Sham Mirrors .

Have you watched the dvd by the way? So freaking good. I think I watched it 100 times since I bought it last year when it came out. Also, Painting My Horrors and Master of Disguise sound better live actually (same for Shipwreck Fontier Pioneer). And Vortex is not doing a bad job I think.

I start reading a list and think, "Wow, this person has really good taste" -- and then interrupt myself mid-thought when I see a howlingly bad album in the middle of their otherwise good list.

(Repeat 20x to recreate my experience reading the entire thread)

Hey, I think my list is pretty damn good and I'll fight to the death to defend those albums!

Well not fight to the death, but I'll write like a b-grade Pitchfork journalist to defend those albums!

 

[Kevtones]

Very nice choices..

Hey Kevtones, what's your opinion on the Mark Hollis album? I finally got a copy about two weeks ago, and so far it seems as if it might just be as good as Laughing Stock.

I'm a huge fan, although his self-titled never got quite got to me the way Laughing Stock/Spirit of Eden did. Those two albums are my favorite of all-time and I've made a GAF thread about it before Check out Colour of Spring too, because while it has more pop leanings, it is great record as well.


The self-titled is a perfect continuation of the sound. LS comes off as bare and vulnerable, and Mark Hollis feels like sound finding the courage to become comfortable with that vulnerability. It's all in the calculated efficiency, and Mark does more with less better then anyone. I guess the reason I don't put it in the same league with LS and SoE, is that it reminds me we'll probably never get another Hollis album Kind of superficial, but eh, the record is still fantastic in every regard~

Glad to see another fan, there's not enough of us around anymore

I don't care if it's a stupid concept album I think it's awesome.

I've probably listened to this album a 100 times and it never got old. Basically I think it rocked as hard as anything the Pumpkins ever did.

Whoops, you posted the wrong artwork. Here, I'll fix that for you:

Yeah, TEAMWORK!

Yeah, TEAMWORK!

Summerteeth is better than either of them, but even still, it's not perfect.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Well, yeah, you're right: none of their discs are what I'd call perfect (and they're certainly not getting any closer).

 

[Corwood Rep]

Summerteeth IS substantially better.

P.S. As said before, though, they haven't done a definitive album.

[Corwood Rep]

Delia's Gone is pretty terrific.

 

[AlanHemberger]

omg yes how did i forget this?

 

[Human_Shield]

Delia's Gone is pretty terrific.

I was always partial to that, Like a Soldier and The Man Who Couldn't Cry.

Redundant.

 

[duderon]

Everything else I feel is "perfect" has already been mentioned (Lateralus, Deloused, Yoshimi, etc.)

Keep your perfect albums coming, i'm gonna check a lot of these out.

Nice choice, I forgot that one.

Grinderman was on Letterman last night. The band kind of drowned out Nick but he went wild nonetheless. I really enjoy his new mustache. He looks like that guy in the park that you'd want to keep your kids away from.

The National is playing on Letterman tonight.
