Albums that consist completely or almost entirely of songs of equal excellence
Basically the same as 100 other threads with a different title. Regardless:
Loveless Weezers first album (Shamless pop fun) OK Computer The Bends Disco Volante Hit To Death In The Future Head (Bonus Track doesn't count) Bee Thousand Alien Lanes Doolittle Different Class Dig Your Own Hole Prodigy's first two albums |
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
The Fall - Grotesque Mogwai - Young Team Godspeed You! Black Emperor - All the albums Double Leopards - Halve Maen Boards Of Canada - All the albums too Basically any album by artists that focus on atmosphere (drone/ambient, electronica, post-rock and all that) more than actual songs. |
At The Drive-In - Relationship of Command
Elliott Smith - Either/Or, Roman Candle Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted Todd Rundgren - Something/Anything? Joni Mitchell - Hejira, Blue, The Hissing of Summer Lawns |
Gang Gang Dance - God's Money
Liars - They Were Wrong, So We Drowned !!! - Louden Up Now |
i love all of bleach
|
This thread is difficult. Even albums I LOVE have songs I don't think are as great as other songs on the album... I agree with some of your guys's picks (Doolittle, Grotesque) but I disagree with most (OK Computer, They Were Wrong, So We Drowned!!!!). So, uhhh... I'm going to respond to this very cautiously...
Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime Q And Not U - No Kill No Beep Beep Theory of Ruin - Counter Culture Nosebleed Are albums where I PRETTY MUCH think every song is of equal excellence (I could cheat and say things like Stars of the Lid or something but I'm not going to). I sat on this thread for 10 minutes, trying to think of more and I couldn't. You stumped me! |
Slint - Spiderland
|
Albums where I like all the songs on a same (or very near same) level are far and few between.
The Notwist - Shrink / Neon golden U2 - The Joshua tree |
blonde redhead - fake can be jus as good
mono - under the pipal tree massive attack - mezzanine nearly god - S/t ulan bator - vegetale erase errata - other animals sonic youth - evol the black heart procession - three P.U.S.A. - II velvet underground & nico these are all albums with all great songs, even if they include (quite obviously) some which are "more favourite" in a way... |
See, as much as I like "other animals", there are like 2 guitar noise only tracks and a filler track or two, so that seems to contradict the purpose of this thread. Unless, of course, you find those of equal excellence and listenability as "Fault List"... to each their own.
Also, I could have listed stuff like Boris - Flood, but that's cheating since it's one big song ... |

I recently realised that it's my favorite Blonde Redhead record (I used to prefer Misery is a butterfly but it doesn't age very well), and I would agree if I could stand In particular (I don't why but I hate that song). |

You're probably right, actually. I do love the "flow" of the record, but a couple spots are a bit lacking... |
Revolver by The Beatles (this would be any other band's gretest hits, and it would be an amazing greatest hits at that)
Freak Out by Frank Zappa (just behind Daydream Nation for my favorite album of all time) Ramones debut LP (say what you will about them, I have always been a huge fan, and this album is brilliant from beginning to end) Bringing It all back home by Bob Dylan (while one or two of the songs might not be as lyrically amazing as some of the others, I'd say it is a consistently good album.) The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars by David Bowie (fucking fantastic) Electric Warrior by T.Rex (Consistent level of goodness throughout) This does not necessarily equate to my favorite albums although some of them are favorites. Daydream would be there but someone else mentioned it already.. and providence is scignificantly not as good as the rest of the album. And no, not everything I listen to is this mainstream, these are just the albums I think meet the specification XD |

in particular is on "melody of certain damaged lemons" :D |
I think I might add REM's Automatic for the people to my list.

OK :D So it's Melody of certain damaged lemons that I like from beginning to end except for In particular. |
EITS - The Earth is Not A Cold Dead Place
Hot Snakes - Suicide Invoice At the Drive-in - in/casino/out Joanna Newsom - Milk-Eyed Mender |

I know, I don't know why but I think the song sounds silly. |
