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.

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.

Agreed. Also, just wanted to link to Bigod 20's version of Like a Prayer: http://rutube.ru/tracks/362127.html It's entertaining, if nothing else.

Love that p4k thought The Amazing Sounds of Orgy was a new song. Anyway, thanks for posting. Skirting on the Surface sounds great.

If you aren't doing Top Chef recaps anymore, could I suggest another reality show to replace it? Like Ink Master or Work of Art? Both are really great in completely different ways.

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.

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.

More than 10 years from their debut. Soft Bulletin was 1999. Hear It Is was 1986.

Drill EP came out in 1992, Kid A came out in 2000 = 8 years.

Every time you write Mean Grouch, I am going to pretend that you wrote Michigan J Frog, and that will make me happy.

Zombie super-vision sounds really great. I assume that Hershel has to feed the zombies, though, right? Remember how in Season One the camp got raided because the zombies were running out of food in the city? So, maybe they got all excited by the light just because someone throws food down from up there. But we've already established that the zombie palate is not friendly to spiced ham, so that means that Hershel would have to be throwing down live food (animals or people, either way) to the zombies from the hayloft. I find this surprisingly believable.

When I saw the zombies in the barn, which we already knew was filled with zombies, all I really thought about was how they get new zombies in there. I mean, you open the door, they all run away. And it's not like you can lug a zombie up the ladder and then toss him over the hayloft if you're intent on like not harming or killing them.

Yep. Work of Art is great. How can you not love a show where a guy named Sucklord shows up and is taken seriously.

I agree. He really came across as if he was out of his league in that company and that he knew it and was trying to keep up but couldn't.

One of the first pieces of music I ever owned was a cassette single for Come As You Are. I still remember putting it in my tape deck and just being blown away by the B-Side, "Drain You." Still love it.
