Try again–if you like Lifted so much, I’m really surprised it didn’t grab you. For me, People’s Key > Cassadaga by a long shot.
Yeah, Bowl of Oranges belongs on here, and is far better than Four Winds. I appreciate the inclusion of A Perfect Sonnet, though I would have placed it in the top 5.
It’s a good album. I’m sold on the instrumentation, as usual, and can live with some of the cringe-worthy lyrics that have become the standard on DM’s post-Ultra output. The album is immediately a lot more engaging and focused than Sounds of the Universe was. And Dave’s songs are melding in with the rest of the album better than they have since he started writing.
Transatlanticism
Help. Just a lot of fun at the tail end of the pop-period and beginning of their experimental period, so it’s a nice mixture of both.
I agree. Washing Machine is the worst of the three, IMO. I’d put Murray Street higher, too. And NYC Ghosts & Flowers is dead last for me, by a wide margin.
Just my personal list. Disintegration still on top, but I have a lot more love for Faith and Seventeen Seconds and a lot less for Kiss Me and Pornography.
01. Disintegration
02. Faith
03. Seventeen Seconds
04. Head on the Door
05. Wish
06. Pornography
07. Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
08. Three Imaginary Boys
09. Bloodflowers
10. The Top
11. Wild Mood Swings
12. 4:13 Dream
13. The Cure
Tender
Agreed.
Also, just wanted to link to Bigod 20′s version of Like a Prayer:

It’s entertaining, if nothing else.
Currently, What A Pleasure by Beach Fossils
simple song – the shins
Love that p4k thought The Amazing Sounds of Orgy was a new song.
Anyway, thanks for posting. Skirting on the Surface sounds great.

It would help if she had a range of more than one note.
Casey Jones
I like the stop/start dynamics. Cursive has always employed that well.
Yeah, it does. Not surprising, given that he was really the sole creative force in The White Stripes. It’s a little on the softer side. Very stripped down. Nice song. If this gives us a good idea of what to expect from the solo album, I’ll be satisfied.
Wow–you’re right! Man, I went a long time thinking Albini had produced Fantastic Planet.
I have a soft spot for his work with Failure, even if neither Comfort nor Fantastic Planet really deserve to be on this list. Fantastic Planet, in particular.
Great song. Also, cats!
Andy Fletcher from Depeche Mode?
Keith Flint and Maxim in The Prodigy eventually started adding vocals, but they’re pretty borderline.
Heaven and Hell completely revitalized Black Sabbath, which was dying a slow death by the time Ozzy left the band, so I think it’s worthy.
Saturday Night Fever has merit too. As far as being a well-constructed piece of pop culture that represents its time and place, it’s hard to beat.
The Comm Venus debut came out in 1995, so there’s at least an argument for you.
Count it. :)
