Patti Smith - So You Want To Be (A Rock 'N Roll Star)

R.E.M.: Hope

Up has some good tracks. I liked it a lot when it came out (freshman year of college. Jesus Christ that was over a decade ago I'm old), not so much now. Still decent.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #828 on:** September 11, 2009, 12:02:55 AM »

I honestly think Up becomes less pleasant the more you listen to it. I like how it establishes a sedate, delicate yet oppressive mood musically, but even within that, it just fluctuates too much and meanders at points.

Patti Smith - Citizen Ship

True. Strangely, I think it's at its best when it's being excessively optimistic.

R.E.M.: Why Not Smile

That's because the insane optimism is also saddled by the moodiest melodies in the album. I like that.

Siouxsie & the Banshees - Mother/Oh Mein Papa

Skipping the 14-minute monstrosity today, thank you.

EDIT:

'Til Tuesday - Winning The War

This is hilariously '80s.

Simon & Garfunkel - Mrs. Robinson

We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files~

The Who: The Real Me

"I went back to my mother / I said, 'I'm crazy, ma, help me!' / She said, 'I know how it feels, son / 'cause it runs in the family.'"

So true. Pete Townshend is such a nutbar.

Aimee Mann - Stupid Thing

I still can't believe that she changed from the tykish shriek that exhuded '80s in Voices Carry to -this-. I really like both, but maaaaaaaaaaaaang.

Everything But The Girl - Imagining America

That not in Fisherman's Woman? If not, what's the album name? I'll hit it up on torrentland tonight.

EDIT: Right, musaks.

Patti Smith - Up There Down There

Dream Of Life is also excellent.

Grefter · « **Reply #838 on:** September 12, 2009, 01:46:33 AM »

It is on Fisherman's Wife. You should be getting Me and Armini as well as Love in a Time of Science.

'Til Tuesday - Looking Over My Shoulder

Glorious, glorious cheese.

EDIT:

R.E.M. - Life And How To Live It

This >>>>>>>>> Maps And Legends >>>>> Feeling Gravity's Pull >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the rest of Fables of the Reconstruction. Given how high an opinion I have of the album throughout, this says a goddamned lot.

10,000 Maniacs - My Mother The War

The Wishing Chair rendition. Amazing how much more energy the redone songs from Secrets Of The I-Ching/Human Conflict Nº 5 have in this album.

Needs more Driver 8 hype.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #843 on:** September 13, 2009, 12:21:24 AM »

Driver 8 is actually after FGP for worth to me. Just those three are the dealmakers for me. I'd buy albums that had Maps and Legends, Life And How To Live It and Feeling Gravity's Pull if the rest of the tracks were nothing but the sounds of seventy-year-old monkeys munching on pieces of concrete.

Empire of the Sun - Half Mast.

Jason Mraz - The Remedy(I Won't Worry)

Fable's hype, eh? Dunno, couldn't get into that one myself. *goes to specifically listen to the named songs off of it to see if that changes anything*

Spirit of the Cimarron: Fly Like An Eagle - HANS ZIMMER

I had forgotten why I liked Disney so much. Now I remember.

R.E.M. - Driver 8

This and Maps and Legends are good. Feeling Gravity's Pull didn't grab me, and Life And How To Live It is pretty good but D8 and M&L are better.

Fables is insanely moody and somewhat dense. Not getting into it is hardly a crime, especially when I know you're not really into grim, atmospherically dense music. Fables is probably the hardest R.E.M. album to get into.

'Til Tuesday - Are You Serious?

I probably should send this album to you, it's so hilariously entertaining in that '80s pop way.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #849 on:** September 14, 2009, 09:13:46 PM »

Siouxsie & the Banshees - Green Fingers

By A Kiss In The Dreamhouse, Siouxsie really hit comfortably that weirdness/musicality mix that pervaded their downright dirty guitars in the early years. This might be my favorite SatB album nowadays.

EDIT:

R.E.M. - Sweetness Follows

Automatic For The People, hell yeah.
