asp's classic albums # 99: big black - songs about fucking

atsonicpark · 04.24.2011, 01:21 PM

Don't call it half-cocked.

you all know this one, and with good reason. It's a masterpiece.

One fine fine album.

Pookie · 04.24.2011, 03:07 PM

So-so. A bit half-cocked. A little pile of shit compared to the mighty Atomizer.

NEXT THREAD.

PILE OF SHIT? fuck outta heaaaa'. I could never listen to Atomizer all the way through.

demonrail666 · 04.24.2011, 04:31 PM

I like SAF but after Atomizer, it did feel like a bit of a let down.

DaveCromwell · 04.24.2011, 04:34 PM

Is "Kim Gordon's Panties" on that?

(for that matter - is Steve Albini's?)

;-)

It's on RAPEMAN's album (so yes, it's Steve Albini).

Didn't Steve Albini - one time - like - have a pair of Kim's panties?

And then - recently - after all the brouhaha over what Steve Albini said 'bout SY - Thurston was asking about Steve Albini's panties? Like - he shouldn't get his panties in a bunch?

I also like the way Kim "thanked" Steve for "being an asshole"

Ha, ha.

Oh you kids - play nice!

Pretty cool, but nowhere near as cool as Atomizer.

My thoughts exactly. That's easily Big Black's classic.

Wow, ATOMIZER just feels way too long for me to sit through. It's got some good stuff but man. This album flos so perfectly though. KITTY EMPIRE, FISH FRY, L DOPA, COLOMBIAN NECKTIE, BAD PENNY, PAVEMENT SAW, etc.. all classics. amazing album.

GeneticKiss · 04.24.2011, 11:32 PM

Pretty much EVERY Big Black song I've ever heard has been heavy on treble...

Derek · 04.25.2011, 06:23 AM

SONGS ABOUT FUCKING is way better than ATOMIZER you weirdos.

atsonicpark · 04.25.2011, 07:20 AM

yeah, like ten thousand times better

then again, some people think 1000 hurts is better than at action park (I don't even think it's better than terraform).

Pookie · 04.25.2011, 07:24 AM

SAF is a bit...pop...for my liking. Girls and the gays like it I've heard.

Pookie · 04.25.2011, 07:28 AM

1000 Hurts, Atomizer and Two Nuns and a Pack Mule are Albini's three finest.

Now stop getting Albini wrong!

this.
unlistenable on CD.
great great on wax.

Genteel Death · 04.25.2011, 08:33 AM

Atomizer, yes.

PAULYBEE2656 · 04.27.2011, 09:36 AM

hmmm, both atomizer and songs are awesome albums.... both different... atomizer is generally hailed as bb best record thanks to 3 or 4 pieces of fucking slay art on it but songs as a whole unit melds together much more... and is coherently a finer album. both rule with a trebly fist but sometimes a nice arguement is better than punching someones head in....and vice versa.

SONIC GAIL · 04.27.2011, 09:51 AM

Big Black is always great

Glice · 04.27.2011, 10:05 AM

I retroactively dislike this album: meaning that it may be good in theory but Albini is simply too much of a cunt for me to actually like it, without being that much of a cunt that it's likeable (for which see 'why the Smiths are alright')

I could've saved myself the effort and just said it's half-cocked.

Also - shit shoes, and the wrong guitar for that t-shirt on this evidence. A general no to those hats. And really - that shirt, on a drummer? Inexcusable.
