AboveAverage484 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 I prefer Tim, but then again I've always been a sucker for more pop oriented material from indie rock bands; I also prefer New Day Rising to Zen Arcade. At any rate... what do you think?
Guest Oedipus Rex Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 Let It Be has a bunch of good stuff; I only really embraced "Here Comes A Regular" on Tim. Pleased To Meet Me smokes both, but you knew that already, because you didn't offer it as an option.
AboveAverage484 Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Posted February 19, 2007 Let It Be has a bunch of good stuff; I only really embraced "Here Comes A Regular" on Tim. Pleased To Meet Me smokes both, but you knew that already, because you didn't offer it as an option. Really, I always thought it was the "bastard son" of the Replacements albums; it has it's moments but it doesn't come close to the above two. Obviously, you disagree, ha
Guest Oedipus Rex Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 Then I'm a bastard 'Mats fan, because I love the first three songs, "The Ledge," and "Skyway."
PLAGIARISM! Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 Let It Be for me, but to add YET MORE dimensions to the thread I'm going to say that I prefer Sorry Ma, Forgot To Take Out the Trash to Tim and Pleased to Meet Me. I adore all of them, however.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 Tim is one of my favorite albums ever. I like the other big two a lot too but listen to Tim the most. Their best blend of anthemic stuff, jangly fun stuff, and face-crushingly depressing stuff.
Gary Floyd Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 Definately Tim. As Edwin said, it has all of the things that made the 'Mats great.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 After I accepted that not all the songs were going to be pure jangle like "I Will Dare," my favorite became Let it Be.
PLAGIARISM! Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 Favourite songs... 1. I Will Dare 2. Little Mascara 3. Androgynous 4. I'm In Trouble 5. Jonny's Gonna Die Of course, it changes.
Dobbs 3K Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 "Tim" and "Pleased to Meet Me" are tied in my book. I would say Let It Be is a distant third...it's got some good rocking songs, but it's just a little too unpolished for my tastes. Kind of feels like they're getting their goofiness out of their systems before moving on to more mature material, IMO.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 Kind of feels like they're getting their goofiness out of their systems before moving on to more mature material, IMO. "Lay it Down Clown" and "Shooting Dirty Pool" are as every bit juvenile as the moments of lower humor on Let it Be. Maybe there aren't as many dick jokes.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 By the way, I want "Seen Your Video" to be the music that plays whenever I enter a room, high-fiving my bros and shit.
Dobbs 3K Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 Oh, just to throw it in because it hasn't been mentioned yet, I find Don't Tell a Soul to be a really enjoyable album as well.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 I can't get behind Don't Tell a Soul, but I like All Shook Down.
