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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
