Your right there, I really think Experimental Jet Set could have been saved by a Lee track, some of his beautiful lyrics to balance out Thurston's bizarre foray into brainless neandathol (its midnight, i'm beyond caring about spelling)lyricism; lets not forget Self-Obsessed "pwarty pwarty pwarty, party all the time!". They've never needed Lee more.

bad moon rising had no lee tracks and that is their best (or second best following sister) album. CIS also had no lee songs.
so i belive that you are mistaken sir

LEE IS FREE :)

Most SY albums are improved by a Lee track. Daydream Nation wouldn't have been as good without the 3 Lee tracks. Experimental Jet Set... would have been improved by a Lee track.
Anyway, SY have still done amazing albums without Lee tracks - Bad Moon Rising, Confusion Is Sex.

Agreed, ATL is an alright album, though is massively overrated by fans.

DDN has 3 Lee tracks. Enough said.

Dirty would have been 1,000 times better if they had used "Genetic" instead of "Nic Fit", no offense to nicfit.

Everyneurotic 05.02.2008 09:09 PM

ddn is far from my favorite sy album.

nic fit is probably my favorite sy cover.

i want to know yr opinion isn't genetic sound different than all dirty it's not an atack cause i love this song just question cause maybe i feel this song in the different way

Genetic is different from everything else on the album . It's a great Lee song, so I guess that's why I think it should have been included.

Everyneurotic 05.02.2008 09:15 PM

dirty is very versatile, there's not a sound, it's tons of sounds; so genetic would have fitted anyway.

Yeah, if it wasn't for that Lee track it probably would've been an EP.

i second that

ZEROpumpkins 05.03.2008 03:53 AM

Wrong

This Is Not Here 05.03.2008 04:15 AM

No, they could name a track 'Thuston Is Free' and have lyrics written and sung by Kim, doesn't make it a Thurston track does it?

excactly. for all we know lee could have writen the intro to bad moon rising-that does not make it a "lee track"

ZEROpumpkins 05.03.2008 04:57 AM

I'm just stirring. But Lee is free IS a Lee track.
