fullchromelogic · 04.16.2006, 03:47 PM

as well you should love it.
it's fuckin redunkulously kickass

huoxito · 04.16.2006, 03:54 PM

NYC Ghosts & Flowers became a sonic epic ... along with Diamond Sea
and yeah NYC is fucking great .....

rjonnz · 04.16.2006, 04:03 PM

it's my 7 year-old son's favorite album ever, and it was my most-listened to of 2004.

qprogeny79 · 04.16.2006, 04:18 PM

it's an acquired taste. if you don't like it now, try again; you will.

honestly, i think streamxsonik subway is among the most underrated sy songs of all time. you have to have been on a nyc subway and felt the chaos of people rushing in and out, the incredible speed with which the trains whip about, and the monotonous screeching of the wheels to really get the song, but when you have you know that the song captures the experience perfectly.

not to be an elitist ass, but i pine for the days when sy was this inaccessible to the layman, when they were this . . . weird.

are you serious? haha that is so cool.

Free City Rhymes is the best. THE BEST

DoubleNickels · 04.16.2006, 07:58 PM

NYC Ghosts and Flowers I think is one of my favourite albums. I just remember picking it up and being hesitant of listening to it, but it fucking clicked RIGHT AWAY. I just remember going "Wow, SY is awesome, but I wish there was something that sounded different, don't really know how to put my finger on it..." and NYCGandF was the sound I was looking for. I love it so much I bought the shirt with the Empire State Building on the front and "NYC Ghosts and Flowers"on the back.

NYC G+F needs to be played on tour this year. Come on guys. Surprise us and give Lee and awesome song.

HaydenAsche · 04.16.2006, 07:58 PM

Haven't heard it.

Death poems for the livin' gods of America

Great masterpiece, one of my fav
A mystic album, something reminds me the athosphere of Bad Moon Rising, don't know how

elder18 · 04.17.2006, 11:28 AM

Honestly, the production is really bad;
The songs themselves sound like the post-marijuana musings of college kids;
And the album art is pretty tacky too.
This, along with Thousand Leaves, are the dark days of SY for me.
Thank god for Murray Street!

marleypumpkin · 04.17.2006, 11:31 AM

I think "Murray Street" is more simplistic than "NYCG&F". Not that that's a bad thing, but I dig "NYCG&F" just a little more than "Murray Street". Just by a hair.

fishmonkey · 04.17.2006, 12:20 PM

fuckin love this album, down to the Borroughs Cover.. pure class...

Hey do any of you freaks here ever remember Lenny??

There's some great shit on that album. I love Renegade Princess

Moshe · 04.17.2006, 02:27 PM

when i first heard it i thought it was horrible. it took me about a year to fall in love with it.

marleypumpkin · 04.17.2006, 02:29 PM

"Reneaged Princess" is a classic track. I think it's one of the best songs of the 21st Century.
