I Only Have The Woods And One Beat, Both Are Really Good But I Just Got The Debut One And I Am Lovin It. Really Suprised Me How Good It Actually Is....

I have only One Beat so I can only vote for that one. I do like it.

I like the one where they forgot to press the record button.

gmku 10.26.2006 01:56 PM

Too bad, 'cos that's my vote too... really, beause it's the only one I have heard in full aside from The Woods, which didn't really make much of a dent on me.

great thread, the best album band by far

Call the Doctor is Corin's best record, a very early peak, Carrie's voice is at the rawest it has ever been

Dig Me Out is a frenetic blast of energy, Janet's arrival rounds out the band with the larger sound it was missing

The Hot Rock is Carrie's breakout album, the most depth, the best collection of songs, but i think the production makes it suffer, otherwise it would be the best

All Hands on the Bad One, seems like a step back from there they could have gone at this point, very soft, but then again this only 15 months after the previous one

One Beat is a masterpiece, political themes can certainly go really wrong sometimes, not here, to date my Favorite album of all time

The Woods is the best production of them all by far, my final verdict isn't in, could possibly overtake One Beat

I really like Call the Doctor, but they are all awesome.

I'm still going with Dig Me Out. It's great that they went out on top.

evollove 10.27.2006 02:50 PM

why does the production make hot rock suffer? Like, they spent 8 days on it and not the usual 3? 'Coz it's got a violin? It's super underrated. Talk about production...the Woods has got to be one of the worst sounding records I've heard in a while.

So Pent's gonna kick Hot down a few notches because the production's too good (???) and I'm gonna kick Woods down a few 'cause the production sux. To each their own...

dazedcola 10.27.2006 02:52 PM

I think Dig Me Out and the Woods tie for first. I love them both too much, i cant decide one over the other.

i just think there isn't as full a sound on some of the songs as there could have been, i think the mids are fine but the low-end seems lacking on songs that have a booming sound like end of you, don't talk like, or how one song for you is kinda missing a little in the high-end , it's a little to lo-fi for how big their sound was becoming at that point (jet set is an album that is also a little to lo-fi after coming off of dirty which was pretty lush, but thats another discussion)

perhaps yeah the woods over does the low-end by a bit but it was the fullest recording they ever did and i think the hot rock is missing a little from that, call the doctor and dig me out work for the song style of the time

this one is growing on me.

 

!@#$%! 12.13.2006 05:36 PM

WHAT PANTOPHOBIA SAID.

finding nobody 12.13.2006 05:45 PM

The Woods is the only one I've heard. I do enjoy it though

porkmarras 12.13.2006 05:48 PM

The one where they stop singing like women with a bad period on a rainy day.
