Guest Kotzenjunge Posted October 22, 2002 Report Posted October 22, 2002 Fun fact: I couldn't stand Wait and Bleed, even though it was the song that the most people knew, but AT THAT TIME, meaning when I was in some kind of mental fog and bought the album with my own money(I bought The Bends in the same trip to the record store), I couldn't name the song I liked the most, and still can't. I'm going to grab the thing now and look to see what my favorite song was, because I remember the track numbers... And the winner is "(Sic)!" But I must concede that the hidden track with them watching what I think is a porno is pretty funny, especially when they say something looks like pudding, and people are coughing and puking in the background the whole time. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
Guest Incandenza Posted October 22, 2002 Report Posted October 22, 2002 Meat is Murder? Really? The Queen is Dead kicks its ass. I concur. However, past the first song, Meat Is Murder is a good album. I think it's somewhat underrated by people, but I don't think it's great or anything. Probably their 3rd best album. I like everything about Meat is Murder EXCEPT the title track. Musically, its nothing special, but the lyrics are cringe-inducingly preachy.
Guest Incandenza Posted October 22, 2002 Report Posted October 22, 2002 Prince Paul - A Prince Among Thieves The universal praise that album receives escapes me. The tracks are good, but I swear to Christ the story sections are dull. If it had actually been made into a movie like Paul envisioned, it would've been shit.
Guest saturnmark4life Posted October 22, 2002 Report Posted October 22, 2002 Meat is Murder? Really? The Queen is Dead kicks its ass. i disagree. Mildly. I've met people who go with the queen is dead, people who go with the debut, people who go with strangeways. But meat is murder is my pick. Most of the time.
Guest saturnmark4life Posted October 22, 2002 Report Posted October 22, 2002 iiiiiiiit's post wh0rin' time% i disagree about slipknot being the worst nu metal band. For the most part, they are crap, but folks like limp bizkit have launched twice as many pretenders and been far more damaging to the industry as a whole IMO. slipknot are just noise, but i'd prefer listening to abrasive noise (melvins, butthole surfers etc) than vomitous rap metal.
Guest LooseCannon Posted October 22, 2002 Report Posted October 22, 2002 hmm. The story does slow down the album on subsequent listens, and the Count Macula stuff doesn't even fit in that well, but I appreciate the added dimension the storyline creates. I think the concept was an ambitious one, and I think it was executed quite well, though perhaps not perfectly. Perhaps I should have a stronger defense for an album I put in my top 3, but I chose albums that subjectively speaking I most enjoy on a visceral level, and they're not necessarily the most praise-worthy albums, in my opinion. Maybe I've bad taste, but there's something about that album that I just fucking enjoy. Prince Paul is just brilliantly twisted in a humorous way.
Guest Cerebus The Aardvark Posted October 22, 2002 Report Posted October 22, 2002 I like everything about Meat is Murder EXCEPT the title track. Musically, its nothing special, but the lyrics are cringe-inducingly preachy. True, but I can ignore the preaching...granted, it's horrifically out of place lyrically, but if you can get past that, there's not really anything wrong with it. Even though it's not technically an album, Louder Than Bombs is my favourite Smiths release, followed by The Queen Is Dead. LTB is just a great listen, IMO. How can you go wrong with a song called "Sweet & Tender Hooligan"?
Guest welshjerichomark Posted October 22, 2002 Report Posted October 22, 2002 queen: greatest hits 1 the corrs: talk on corners eternal:greatest hits these are the only three albums in the world that i can just listen to without skipping tracks

I recall someone telling me that there's a live version of "Meat is Murder" circulating that--and I'm quoting here--"fucking rocks," but I'll be damned if I can find it.
Guest notJames Posted October 25, 2002 Report Posted October 25, 2002 Even though it's not technically an album, Louder Than Bombs is my favourite Smiths release, followed by The Queen Is Dead. Agreed on both counts. Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear
Guest saturnmark4life Posted October 25, 2002 Report Posted October 25, 2002 well anything with 24 smiths songs on it should get a knighthood or something... (even if one of them is golden lights)
Guest The Czech Republic Posted October 26, 2002 Report Posted October 26, 2002 To whoever said "The Wall" was Pink Floyd's weakest album... "The Final Cut" and "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" are far far FAR weaker. They're hardly even Pink Floyd albums for crying out loud. However, I love "The Division Bell."
Guest benoitrulz4life Posted October 27, 2002 Report Posted October 27, 2002 1. Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon 2. Led Zeppelin-IV 3 Way Tie: Nirvana-Nevermind Pink Floyd-The Wall Guns N' Roses-Appetite for Destruction
Guest DawnBTVS Posted October 27, 2002 Report Posted October 27, 2002 #1=Nirvana - In Utero #2=Oasis - What's the Story(Morning Glory) #3=Alanis Morrisette - Jagged Little Pill(This'll probably get some controversy)
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 27, 2002 Report Posted October 27, 2002 IMO, the title of worst Floyd album goes to The Final Cut. I'd put the Wall somewhere in the middle with Wish You Were Here.
Guest whatitistoburn Posted October 27, 2002 Report Posted October 27, 2002 No see, the worst pink floyd album is A Momentary Lapse of Reason.
Guest mesepher Posted October 27, 2002 Report Posted October 27, 2002 this is interesting. TFC is a beautiful tribute to Rog's fallen father... yet has no business running under the Pink Floyd name since Rog did everything himself. The last actuall Pink Floyd album was Wish You Were Here, where everyone worked together and got along, or Animals if you don't count the tour. its good to see how people realize the Wall isn't all its cracked up to be. It tells a good, interesting, and involved story yet the music of it is subpar. Again, this is the result of the band hating each other and having to mediate two HUGE egos in Dave and Rog. A Momentary Lapse of Reason is definitely not the worst Floyd album. Dave shines through and through on that record and Tony Levin on the bass, oh yeah~!! Lyrically, yeah, it's pretty bad... but damn, that Gilmour can play the hell out of a guitar.
Guest Dmann2000 Posted October 28, 2002 Report Posted October 28, 2002 I don't understand why the early Beatles are overlooked and ragged on. "A Hard Day's Night" is one of the finest pop-song collections ever presented in one 1/2 hour
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 28, 2002 Report Posted October 28, 2002 Momentary Lapse is pretty iffy, too. That and Final Cut are pretty clearly their weakest efforts, with TFC being just a little worse in my book.
Guest saturnmark4life Posted October 28, 2002 Report Posted October 28, 2002 Oh on the live version of meat is murder - that might be the one morrissey is currently doing at his shows (yes, he's fucking doing smiths stuff again ) good GOD i need to se his new live show before i die, everyone says it's quite amazing how good he still is.
Guest NazMistry Posted October 28, 2002 Report Posted October 28, 2002 Deftones - 'The White Pony' Metallica - 'S & M' Gun 'N Roses - 'Appetite For Destruction'
