Open Your Heart - 5

Say it ain't so. This is one of my favorites. Though I do think I prefer the non-Collection versions of most of the songs.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Jaxl, we must again brawl. "When the Levee Breaks" smokes everything on that album and almost everything in the Zeppelin catalog. FIGHT

I'm on your team, on the caveat that you consider "How Many More Times" to be superior as well.

[Edwin MacPhisto 0]

Another great album-ender. I'll take it.

 

Jaxl, strap on your Compton hat.

Open Your Heart - 5

Say it ain't so. This is one of my favorites. Though I do think I prefer the non-Collection versions of most of the songs.

Eh, it's my least favourite 80s Madonna song on that album. It's probably a harsher mark than it deserves, but I couldn't feel right putting it equal to Lucky Star or Rescue Me.

 

True Blue is her worst period, aside from American Life.

Slint - Spiderland (1991)

 

Breadcrumb Trail - 9

Nosferatu Man - 8

Don, Aman - 8

Washer - 10

For Dinner - 8

Good Morning, Captain - 10

 

Though I base all the ratings I give for how a song stands on its own, sometimes it is difficult. An album like Spiderland (and, on a completely different sonic tip, Wire's Pink Flag) demands to be listened to from start to finish for maximum appreciation. Ah well.

 

Oh, and I went back and modified some of my scores in this thread, as I think I was little too generous on some of the songs (there are a few less 10s now).

[Edwin MacPhisto 0]

Bastard, I was just going to do that album. Thunder-stealing crapmonkey. Mostly agree with your scores, at least.

 

Portishead - Dummy

 

Mysterons: 10

Sour Times: 9

Strangers: 8

It Could Be Sweet: 7

Wandering Star: 9

It's A Fire: 7

Numb: 7

Roads: 9

Pedestal: 6

Biscuit: 8

Glory Box: 10

 

This is my favorite trip-hop album and one that I think gets unjustly overlooked by fans of Maxinquaye, Blue Lines, and Mezzanine. I can't believe this album is 10 years old. It's a bit disappointing that it starts off with the best song, but the pace is steady for most of the album. Consistency is an area where I feel most trip-hop pieces fail.

[Giuseppe Zangara 0]

Hey, nothing's stopping you from offering your own take; I've done that with a couple of the albums in this thread.

 

But, then, my scores were generally disimilar to the original person's.

[Edwin MacPhisto 0]

But, then, my scores were generally disimilar to the original person's.

Right. See, mine'd be the same, with maybe two exceptions.

 

Breadcrumb Trail: 9

Nosferatu Man: 7

Don, Aman: 8

Washer: 10

For Dinner: 6

Good Morning, Captain: 10

 

And that's really just because of an album issue, as you suggested; I don't like them as much on their own as individual songs. In the context of the album, "For Dinner" is a perfect interlude. To go from "Washer" right into "Good Morning, Captain" would be devastation overload - too many climaxes at once. But if it pops up on iTunes shuffle, I'm largely just going to shrug.

 

"After the Laughter," on Trail of Dead's Source Tags & Codes, is my favorite interlude.

[Edwin MacPhisto 0]

Glory Box: 10

 

Good rating. This song played a very key role in many a development in my young life.

It's a hell of a song. I feel strongly that Dummy begins and ends with its strongest tracks, and that the middle, for its ups and downs, is a very well-planned journey between them. Perhaps that's why I feel it has that rare trip-hop consistency to which I earlier alluded.

Looking through this thread, I find that almost all of my ratings are way too generous. Unlike Incandenza, however, I am not nearly motivated enough to change them.
