Ombre Vivante Posted May 17, 2008 Report Posted May 17, 2008 I'll probably have to download the B-sides, but I'll work on the albums of course. Also, of course, it may take a while since Suede isn't the only band I need every album of. Just download Sci-Fi Lullabies. It collects the b-sides up to Coming Up. Ironically, their best b-sides and singles combinations came from the Head Music album. "Leaving" is one of me all-time favourites
blind-fitter Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 Why ironic? I like "Head Music". It's a really under-rated album. I've bought 4 CDs this week, (so far). One full-price album arrived in the post yesterday: Billy MacKenzie - "Transmission Impossible", which is swoonsomely sublime. £10 Three charity shop bargains this afternoon: The Breeders - "Title TK" Kristin Hersch - "Sky Motel" (sounding really good right now) The Wedding Present - "Take Fountain" £6, the lot. Bargain!!!
Levis Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Posted May 22, 2008 I'd guess it's ironic 'cos it's not the original lineup? No Bernard Butler...
blind-fitter Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 Ummm...You may be right...though, truth be told, they did most of their best stuff after parting with Bernard Butler, didn't they?
Ombre Vivante Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Ironic because it's the early albums with Bernard Butler that got the better reviews (only Coming Up got lower reviews from fans). Therefore, it's ironic that their best b-sides aren't from that era, but come from the Head Music year. Those are some sweet sweet singles they cranked out. "Leaving," "Crackhead," "Seascape," "Since You Went Away" are stand out tracks.
Ombre Vivante Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Oh, shoot. I forgot to mention I just received a kilo of music - 2 albums by Clazziquai Project - 1 special edition album by Loveholic - 1 album by Urban Humming Stereo Life ist good.
blind-fitter Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Ironic because it's the early albums with Bernard Butler that got the better reviews (only Coming Up got lower reviews from fans). Surely, "Coming Up" is their best album, isn't it? The trouble with "fans" is that they struggle to be as objective as the the more impartial observer.
Ombre Vivante Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 I'd think their debut is their best, quickly followed by Head Music. Coming Up's album tracks sounded waaaay too much like filler. The album that definitely doesn't come up to par is A New Morning. If they were gonna call it quits, they shoulda done it after Head Music.
The Seeker Posted June 1, 2008 Report Posted June 1, 2008 I just acquired Kasabian -- Kasabian. Let's see if it's any good.
Ombre Vivante Posted June 1, 2008 Report Posted June 1, 2008 Just got the Carole King Tapestry double-cd edition with live version of the classics, the song collection for Reality Bites, and I still have some Korean music cds on order (I think).
_Laurie_ Posted June 1, 2008 Report Posted June 1, 2008 Tapestry is an excellent album...good choice BA!
Ombre Vivante Posted June 1, 2008 Report Posted June 1, 2008 It can also pass as a "best hits" album I get a bit choked up at "So Far Away"
Viaene Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 I found 'best of REM' in my dad's cd collection no idea how it got there n why he didn't told me..
IndestructibleJake Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 I just bought one yesterday, Disturbed's new album "Indestructible".
TheLizard Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Morrison Hotel (Expanded Version) - The Doors Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan times infinity
Ombre Vivante Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 - 2 Delispice cds. - 2 Humming Urban Stereo cds. - 1 Tearliner cd. - 2 Ladytron albums and 1 ep. - Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan.
Farin Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 albums I want to get in the near(est) future: Neon Golden ~ The Notwist (seems "Neon Golden" is a shade of dark red ) 3 Feet High and Rising ~ De La Soul Guero ~ Beck
Viaene Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 Albums I want to get: Accelerate - R.E.M. The Architect - dEUS Black holes and revelations - Muse Tommy/Quadrophelia (not sure which one) - The Who Starting my buy rage in 6 days, when I finished school
The Seeker Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 Quadrophenia, not Quadrophelia. Start with that one, not Tommy.
Viaene Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 the l is awefully close to the n on keyboards isn't it? Thanks for the advice
c_s_1987 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 My last two: OK Computer - Radiohead To be completely honest, it is good, but I don't think it lives up to its massive popularity. Sure, Paranoid Android is one of the greatest songs of all time, but I think about half the album is just average, nothing special. Who's Next - The Who Absolutely brilliant, but I already knew that. I got it for $10. I call that a bargain. The best I ever had. THE BEST I EVER HAD!
