They deserve their own thread really.
Digging the new album, although I had pretty high hopes for it and while there’s little too complain about it feels surprisingly safe and fan-appeasing compared to what they sometimes do. I think it’s what people want from them, and releasing good albums 10 albums in is good going no matter how you slice it.
It made me go back and listen to ST, Saturday Night Wrist and Gore. With each of those I didn’t really love them straight away but once I got over what I was expecting them to be, I really got into them.
Kind of feel like in the long run those albums will all hold up better. I also really like Ohms and I’m kind of surprised how it doesn’t really get as much love.
I posted a ranking recently in the Fractal thread, but after going over a few albums I might re-order my list:
- White Pony
- Around The Fur
- Koi No Yokan
- Diamond Eyes
- Gore
- Ohms
- Saturday Night Wrist
- Self Titled
- private music
- adrenaline
There’s very little between them for me, I think my top 3 are fairly fixed but the rest could be in any order. Quite remarkable for them to have done so many solid albums without dropping any major clangers.
Interestingly, I only heard Smile for the first time the other day and it reminded me of their cover of Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want in that I wish I hadn’t heard it.
