Gary Floyd Posted February 13, 2005 Report Posted February 13, 2005 Front Line Assembly-Tactical Neural Implant-Call me a sucker, but old school industrial dance and Front Line Assembly will always be cool, no matter how cheesy the lyrics can get Massive Attack-Mezzanine-Anyone who thinks trip-hop all sounds the same should give this one a shot. Actually, just about everyone should give this one a shot My Bloody Valentine-Loveless-Everyone, and I mean everyone, should listen to this piece of pure perfection. Forget "Nevermind", this is the best album of the 90's
Nighthawk Posted February 13, 2005 Report Posted February 13, 2005 Aquemini was the best album of the 90s.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted February 13, 2005 Report Posted February 13, 2005 Loveless is also my favourite, but I haven't heard Aquemini yet.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 1. Loveless 2. Aquemini 3. Candlebox
godthedog Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 'the pod' was the best album of the 90s.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted February 14, 2005 Author Report Posted February 14, 2005 Aquemini is the correct answer.
Henry Spencer Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 No, and are the correct answers.
5_moves_of_doom Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 At any rate, it sure as hell isn't OK Computer.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 'the pod' was the best album of the 90s. I have Mollusk and I like it very much, is the Pod that much betteR?
godthedog Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 it's a matter of taste, really. 'the mollusk' is a great little subversive pop record with a lot of humor and versatility, 'the pod' is just a really fucked up record. other than the catchy hook songwriting & wide range of styles, 'the pod' doesn't really have anything in common with 'the mollusk', and even the catchy hooks are buried pretty deeply under lots of meandering, experimenting, and general low-fi fuckedupness. even the sense of humor on 'the pod' is different, really dark and random. it's a VERY different kind of sound, and i think it's brilliant once you dig into it, but it requires a lot of effort and patience. you should probably test drive some tracks, like "right to the ways and the rules of the world," "laura" and "molly." those aren't the best tracks, but they're pretty representative of how it sounds.
Nighthawk Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 "Dr. Rock" is a fuck of a track. "Dr. Rock, see what you can make of it!" gets me every time.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 That song's got the muddiest cheap-tapey sounding distortion ever. So awesome. Best album of the 90's is Neurosis' Through Silver and Blood. Talk about a mindfuck.

Giuseppe Zangara Posted February 14, 2005 Author Report Posted February 14, 2005 Thanks for illustrating the gag, dude.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 I really didn't get it, because I didn't know who Candlebox was. Needless to say, I was surprised when I looked for it. The posting of the picture was more or less closure for me. Carry on.
5_moves_of_doom Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 I never thought much of this one, but now upon relistening, I'm really, REALLY digging about seven of the eleven tracks. I'd say the production on this record is pretty much better than anything else that they've ever done, and song-wise I think it just moved up on my Beatles list from like spot #7 to spot #4-ish. I've been humming the title track all day. Nothing to say about this one. You either rock the Sam Cooke or you don't. This has always been my least favorite Drake release, but it has some of his best tunes on it, and it's just a really, really fucking spectacular album. The fact that this is his weakest effort really says something.
