Board 8 > Rank the Tracks Week 12: LCD Soundsystem's Sound of Silver (+ Dirt results)

Topic List	Page List: 1
CasanovaZelos 05/23/21 9:44:27 AM #1:	Previous results can be seen here: https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Rank_the_Tracks The rules: 1. Listen to the album in full 2. Rank every track on the album 3. For the results, there will be a curve at the top of each list; two additional points between #1 and #2, and one additional point for the next two ranks. This way, the songs that really stick out to someone get an edge that is not immediately negated by someone else putting it lower. In the case of Demon Days, someone's 15th track will get 1 point, 14th 2 points, 4th 12 points, 3rd 14 points, 2nd 16 points, and 1st 19 points 4. If you want to include comments for individual songs, I will compile them in the results 5. The results will be posted at the beginning of the next topic 6. The deadline to vote is Sunday, May 30 at 8:00 AM EST - though if you are for whatever reason listening to the album around that time, just say so in the topic and I can delay a bit 7. You can sign up to be added to a user cycle for after we finish the queue; once we get through the last planned album, the next person on the list will choose 3 albums which the other users will vote on for the next topic. 7a. To ensure people are being given an actual choice, the three nominated albums must be by different artists. You can otherwise stick to a similar sound or era. 7b. The tiebreaker for these polls will be whichever is listed first in the poll options - make sure to deliver the results in order of your own preference (which will hopefully have the added benefit of influencing people toward your first choice if they can't decide). 7c. The order of the user cycle will be randomly determined, but users will first be sorted into tiers by how many of their nominations have been covered during the early nominations period.

CasanovaZelos 05/23/21 9:47:06 AM #2:	Alice in Chains - Dirt Results Participants sorted by deviation from final results: Seanchan (14) CasanovaZelos (18) neonreaper (20) TheArkOfTurus (22) HBJDubs (24) VeryInsane (24) Snake5555555555 (26) ZeroSignal620 (32) Johnbobb (34) SpikeSetsFire (36) Raetsel_Lapin (38) General Album Comments: Snake5555555555: Man this album brings back so many great memories. It was one of those endlessly looped high school albums for me, back when I was absolutely obsessed with grunge. Scored homework sessions, vacations & camping trips, video game multiplayer matches, work assignments, etc.. I've largely grown tired of that sound over the years, due to both being massively overplayed and moving on to other musical obsessions, but the fact remains I still absolutely love this album. Layne Staley's vocals are both heavenly & haunting, at once a drone of absolute despair, anger, & hatred and a lullaby that assures you there's still hope and it's without question no grunge band were doing vocal harmonies like AIC was; this album would not be as fondly remember without Cantrell backing up Layne. The songs become a choir that invokes a sense of belonging and community with the listener, inviting sing-alongs as you wallow in and become enveloped in each song's rich, filthy, & seedy atmosphere. I actually agree with Zelos that grunge is not really a genre, but I do think it's more than a marketing term too; I think it's more a term for the aesthetic of the music. Dirt is what to comes my mind when I think of grunge, and that starts with its album title cover right down into every note and lyric of the music. This is dirty music, from its sludgy guitars to lyrics that depict the depressing lows one person can end up experiencing and how daunting of a task it can appear to pull yourself out of whatever grave you dug yourself into. The album even features themes of warfare, with comparisons to the horrifying conditions of especially the Vietnam War, an analysis of psychology exploring different ways the brain can be scarred but in the end it's still the same feeling. It's also practically impossible to separate the backstory of the album and the unfortunate tragedy of Staley from this music, a double-edged sword that both mythologizes the album and re-contextualizes each song with new meaning but also makes it incredibly difficult to listen to as you know these were real people really going through these difficult times. To criticize the album a little bit: the 8-10 track span of the album always kind of blended into one for me, I feel like those tracks aren't as memorable as the beginnings of the album. I'm a little fatigued with the album's sound by that point, but it ends strong though with Angry Chair and especially Would?, a moody masterpiece with an explosive chorus and satisfying ending. And despite the album's inherent darkness the album is absolutely a fun listen to. Them Bones is an explosive opener, with Layne's "ahs!" being instantly catchy with a satisfying chromatic riff, that is one of the best short metal songs of all time. The beginning of the album shows a particular aptitude for even more hooky songwriting, such as Dam the River's chorus "maybe I don't give a damn anyway", with wordplay that's a bit blunt sure but it comes together with the riff and is a blast to sing along to. And of course there's some "chugga-chuggas" for the true head-banger, in songs like Sickman. In general, it's not really what I listen to the album for, but I appreciate it all the same. It's a timeless album and a realistic snapshot of both a band and a generation, and whether or not grunge is old hat at this point is irrelevant, because substance abuse and psychological torment is something that affects all generations no matter what the music sounds like. ZeroSignal620: On paper, Dirt is arguably the most depressing album ever written. The songs featured on this album include the ideas of death, struggle, war, and drug addiction; the latter hits the hardest considering all four members were on something at the time of making this album, and two of them are no longer with us today. However, it was also the final piece to an impressive 4-pack of Seattle albums. Released one year after Pearl Jam's Ten, Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger, and Nirvana's Nevermind, Dirt arrives fashionably and excellently late. In the end, Dirt not only stands out above all over Alice in Chains albums, it stands out over all albums released from the 90s Seattle movement. 8 of the 13 tracks on this album are in AIC's overall top 30 songs ever. neonreaper: When I put my list together, I really didn't expect to see Dirt and Rain When I Die middle-bottom. It's such a good album. It's also a little tricky to think about, as I liked this as a kid, as a young adult, and as a middle-aged guy. I would imagine I listened to Would and Angry Chair the most when I was young, but that has changed over time. Even Junkhead is a good and vital part of the album. VeryInsane: This album is a little top heavy but still pretty good. Alice In Chains is pretty fun to play on guitar btw Johnbobb: This is probably the hardest album to rank so far because the whole thing is just so goddamn good. Start to finish, this is grunge at its absolute best, without a single bad song. While I don't think Alice in Chains had the overall lasting power of some of the other grunge bands like Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, at their best they're difficult to compete with. Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell's voices together just creates an otherworldly experience, resulting in one of my all-time favorite albums. Seanchan: This is a really solid album. On my first listen I was surprised by how many of these songs I was already familiar with from 90s/00s radio play. There's definitely a lull after Rooster but it ends strong. I was a bit surprised doing my rankings as there's not really a "bad" song on the album (removing Untitled for obvious reasons). I don't think this is as good as Nevermind but it's closer than I would have initially thought. --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ <cite>CasanovaZelos posted [p:954210391] in Rank the T...

CasanovaZelos 05/23/21 9:52:39 AM #3:	Dirt Track Ranking 13. Untitled (Track #10) Score: 15 (Average Rank: 12.64/13) Biggest Fan(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#9) Biggest Detractor(s): everyone but Raetsel_Lapin (#13) ZeroSignal620: Titled "Iron Gland" on a compilation album, the biggest tragedy is that this 40 second joke of a skit got put on a Best Of compilation over a number of classics. Johnbobb: I'm ranking this last not because it's bad, and not even because it's not really a song, because I can still appreciate its spot on the album and how it contributes to the overall feel. But on an album where every song could be a hit, it has to drop. 12. God Smack (Track #9) Score: 41 (Average Rank: 10.27/13) Biggest Fan(s): HBJDubs (#6) Biggest Detractor(s): TheArkOfTurus, Seanchan (#12) ZeroSignal620: Allegedly the unofficial origin of the band with the same name, God Smack reflects a little more on the band's struggle with heroin. Good chorus, weak verses. 11. Junkhead (Track #7) Score: 49 (Average Rank: 9.55/13) Biggest Fan(s): ZeroSignal620 (#5) Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#13) ZeroSignal620: Arguably AIC's drug anthem, the tune and lyrics give this one a haunting atmosphere behind it all. Easily could have been written from the personal experience of any band member. Johnbobb: admittedly this is the one song on the album that's hard to listen to now, given Staley's later overdose 10. Sickman (Track #5) Score: 56 (Average Rank: 9.09/13) Biggest Fan(s): Johnbobb (#2) Biggest Detractor(s): CasanovaZelos, SpikeSetsFire (#12) ZeroSignal620: The bridge to this drags on a bit, but otherwise a decent song. Lyrically, more foreshadowing on Layne's behalf. Johnbobb: doesn't get nearly enough love compared to the many hits from Dirt. It's one of the tracks I think of the most, and it shows off the vocals really well, even just when Staley pronounces the title. SickmaAaAaaAaaaAaaan, Sickman, Sickmaan, Sickmaaaaaan. 9. Dirt (Track #8) Score: 69 (Average Rank: 7.91/13) Biggest Fan(s): SpikeSetsFire, Raetsel_Lapin (#3) Biggest Detractor(s): Snake5555555555 (#12) ZeroSignal620: The title track is done very well here, don't let its placement here fool you. Solid chorus and guitar work help make this one a classic. 8. Hate to Feel (Track #11) Score: 70 (Average Rank: 8.09/13) Biggest Fan(s): SpikeSetsFire (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): ZeroSignal620, HBJDubs, VeryInsane (#12) ZeroSignal620: This one never stuck to me musically, especially with its abrupt ending; lyrically, the idea of Layne stating the fear of ending up like his father is some heavy foreshadowing. On a different note, the live versions of this end up being better than what we get here. Johnbobb: So much is done in this one song; the tempo is constantly changing, the vocal shifting throwing the listener for a loop over and over. 7. Dam That River (Track #2) Score: 74 (Average Rank: 7.27/13) Biggest Fan(s): Seanchan (#4) Biggest Detractor(s): ZeroSignal620, neonreaper, HBJDubs (#10) ZeroSignal620: Short, simple, and to the point. Unlike Them Bones, however, this song is decent at best and mostly forgettable. You could've put this track on Facelift and no one would've noticed. That's not a knock against Facelift, just saying DTR's style sounds more like a Facelift track. Johnbobb: I had this song stuck in my head all morning at work, but only the lines "Sooooo yoooou couldn't damn that river / Well maybe I don't give a damn anyway" 6. Rain When I Die (Track #3) Score: 89 (Average Rank: 6.36/13) Biggest Fan(s): ZeroSignal620 (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#12) ZeroSignal620: By far the strongest track on Dirt. The minute long bass opening and the main guitar line before verses mixed with Layne's vocals help produce one of AIC's best songs ever. 5. Angry Chair (Track #12) Score: 100 (Average Rank: 5.27/13) Biggest Fan(s): SpikeSetsFire, Raetsel_Lapin (#2) Biggest Detractor(s): TheArkOfTurus (#8) ZeroSignal620: The guitar work absolutely defines this song here, as well as the ending parts to all the verses. 4. Would? (Track #13) Score: 125 (Average Rank: 3.82/13) Biggest Fan(s): TheArkOfTurus, VeryInsane (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#8) ZeroSignal620: Written in memory of Mother Love Bone vocalist Andrew Wood, this tune grabs you with an excellent chorus and a slightly groovy guitar solo. The bass opening is spot on as well. Johnbobb: Much like Them Bones is a near perfect opener, Would? is a perfect closer 3. Rooster (Track #6) Score: 128 (Average Rank: 3.91/13) Biggest Fan(s): CasanovaZelos, HBJDubs, Johnbobb (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): Snake5555555555 (#10) ZeroSignal620: Written about his father's time in Vietnam, Jerry Cantrell brought forth the horrors of war on paper before Layne added his voice to it all. Music wise, the opening and chorus are damn near perfect. This is a staple in every AIC playlist for a reason. Johnbobb: 10/10 perfect song 2. Down in a Hole (Track #4) Score: 129 (Average Rank: 3.73/13) Biggest Fan(s): Snake5555555555, neonreaper, Raetsel_Lapin (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): Johnbobb (#9) ZeroSignal620: AIC almost goes in ballad form for this song and it pays off. While the chorus is simple, the verses are done very well here. Johnbobb: I HATE putting Down in a Hole this low (9th on my list) because holy shit is it good, it just slows down the album's pace just enough to fall short of some of the other tracks 1. Them Bones (Track #1) Score: 133 (Average Rank: 3.09/13) Biggest Fan(s): Seanchan (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#6) ZeroSignal620: An excellent album opener, Them Bones is short and simple, yet hard and to the point. Cantrell's lyrics about the idea of death needed the vocals of Layne Staley to make this a hit. Also Cantrell's best guitar solo is featured here. Johnbobb: When that opening "IIIAAAAHHH" scream comes in, I want to throw a rock through a window it's so good --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ <cite>CasanovaZelos posted [p:954210503] in Rank the T...

Hate to Feel (Track #11) Score: 70 (Average Rank: 8.09/13) Biggest Fan(s): SpikeSetsFire (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): ZeroSignal620, HBJDubs, VeryInsane (#12) ZeroSignal620: This one never stuck to me musically, especially with its abrupt ending; lyrically, the idea of Layne stating the fear of ending up like his father is some heavy foreshadowing. On a different note, the live versions of this end up being better than what we get here. Johnbobb: So much is done in this one song; the tempo is constantly changing, the vocal shifting throwing the listener for a loop over and over. 7. Dam That River (Track #2) Score: 74 (Average Rank: 7.27/13) Biggest Fan(s): Seanchan (#4) Biggest Detractor(s): ZeroSignal620, neonreaper, HBJDubs (#10) ZeroSignal620: Short, simple, and to the point. Unlike Them Bones, however, this song is decent at best and mostly forgettable. You could've put this track on Facelift and no one would've noticed. That's not a knock against Facelift, just saying DTR's style sounds more like a Facelift track. Johnbobb: I had this song stuck in my head all morning at work, but only the lines "Sooooo yoooou couldn't damn that river / Well maybe I don't give a damn anyway" 6. Rain When I Die (Track #3) Score: 89 (Average Rank: 6.36/13) Biggest Fan(s): ZeroSignal620 (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#12) ZeroSignal620: By far the strongest track on Dirt. The minute long bass opening and the main guitar line before verses mixed with Layne's vocals help produce one of AIC's best songs ever. 5. Angry Chair (Track #12) Score: 100 (Average Rank: 5.27/13) Biggest Fan(s): SpikeSetsFire, Raetsel_Lapin (#2) Biggest Detractor(s): TheArkOfTurus (#8) ZeroSignal620: The guitar work absolutely defines this song here, as well as the ending parts to all the verses. 4. Would? (Track #13) Score: 125 (Average Rank: 3.82/13) Biggest Fan(s): TheArkOfTurus, VeryInsane (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#8) ZeroSignal620: Written in memory of Mother Love Bone vocalist Andrew Wood, this tune grabs you with an excellent chorus and a slightly groovy guitar solo. The bass opening is spot on as well. Johnbobb: Much like Them Bones is a near perfect opener, Would? is a perfect closer 3. Rooster (Track #6) Score: 128 (Average Rank: 3.91/13) Biggest Fan(s): CasanovaZelos, HBJDubs, Johnbobb (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): Snake5555555555 (#10) ZeroSignal620: Written about his father's time in Vietnam, Jerry Cantrell brought forth the horrors of war on paper before Layne added his voice to it all. Music wise, the opening and chorus are damn near perfect. This is a staple in every AIC playlist for a reason. Johnbobb: 10/10 perfect song 2. Down in a Hole (Track #4) Score: 129 (Average Rank: 3.73/13) Biggest Fan(s): Snake5555555555, neonreaper, Raetsel_Lapin (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): Johnbobb (#9) ZeroSignal620: AIC almost goes in ballad form for this song and it pays off. While the chorus is simple, the verses are done very well here. Johnbobb: I HATE putting Down in a Hole this low (9th on my list) because holy shit is it good, it just slows down the album's pace just enough to fall short of some of the other tracks 1. Them Bones (Track #1) Score: 133 (Average Rank: 3.09/13) Biggest Fan(s): Seanchan (#1) Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#6) ZeroSignal620: An excellent album opener, Them Bones is short and simple, yet hard and to the point. Cantrell's lyrics about the idea of death needed the vocals of Layne Staley to make this a hit. Also Cantrell's best guitar solo is featured here. Johnbobb: When that opening "IIIAAAAHHH" scream comes in, I want to throw a rock through a window it's so good </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

CasanovaZelos 05/23/21 11:22:49 AM #5:	Sound of Silver is my third favorite album of all time, behind only Kate Bush's Hounds of Love and The Velvet Underground and Nico. In fact, this might be the first album I gave a spin after deciding to start listening to full albums - I spent most of my youth only listening to singles. The idea of a full album as a piece of art in itself was a concept I had not been exposed to, and I've spent the last decade playing catch up. Sound of Silver worked as an effective introduction due to the way LCD Soundsystem plays genre roulette - this album contains a few dance-punk tracks like their first album, but mixes in distinctly electronic tracks and more subdued, reflective songs. James Murphy began his career by listing off his influences, and he really plays up his eclectic tastes here. Get Innocuous! - My introduction to LCD Soundsystem, not due to this album but from being featured on the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto IV. I loved this song from the beginning - that dense, slow build opening is the perfect opener. And then Murphy's layered vocals come in, modified to give a godlike droning. The outro is also cool, with Nancy Whang's gentler voice ironically pushing us to 'normalize.' In a way, this has the biggest sound on the album, a track that might even mislead a first time listener before they realize the whole album jumps between several ideas. Time To Get Away - The stronger of the two pure dance-punk tracks. This was the sound they perfected on their previous album. Strong rhythm, catchy, though it seems to lack an identity on an album full of distinct sounds. Serves as a perfect breather between the explosive intro and the more ecstatic North American Scum. North American Scum - Another dance-punk track, but with clear electronic influences. Though not as deep as the 'big three' from this album, LCD Soundsystem at heart is a band specializing in dance music, and this is the most joyous and energetic song on the album. James Murphy is also a phenomenal lyricist, and this is the first track on the album to give him room to show off, creating a comic diatribe about anti-American sentiments. James Murphy is North American scum and proud, baby! Someone Great - The comedown track from "North American Scum," a numbing look at loss backed by mesmerizing electronic drones. James Murphy is at the top of his game with the lyrics, capturing that brief period of numbness before you truly grasp that someone great is gone. This also makes perfect use of repitition during the bridge and chorus, two moments that can easily make me cry if I find myself singing along. The glockenspiel is an excellent little touch, backing every syllable that Murphy sings. Among the many songs explicitly about coping with death, this might be my favorite. All My Friends - When I say "Someone Great" and "All My Friends" can both make me cry, I have to point out that this is a genuinely uncommon experience for me with music. Perhaps a dozen songs at most reach that level. This is the definitive song off Sound of Silver, though I would not be surprised if it collapses among first time listeners - this is a song that takes time to grow, making use of a repetitive piano loop that can be offputting at first. With your attention drawn to that loop, it's easy to miss the slow introduction of instruments throughout the song. The lyrics hit me like few others, perhaps even harder than "Someone Great." Death is obviously sad, but few artists have hit on the feeling of looking around and feeling disconnected from everyone. It's hard to believe how long I've felt so strongly about this song - "I wouldn't trade one stupid decision for another five years of life" was my senior quote ten years ago. But it only gets better with age. That piano loop represents an overwhelming state of reflection, of one vowing to live life without regrets while being incapable of doing so. Decades pass, and the friends you thought were there forever have moved on. "All My Friends" is a pure explosion of mixed emotions. Us V Them - I guess this is also a pure dance-punk track, but of a different flavor than Time to Get Away and Watch the Tapes. You might have caught on by now that LCD Soundsystem like their long tracks. This was the first song they played when I saw them live back in the summer of 2010, which was at the first music festival I ever attended, so I will always have strong memories. I don't imagine this clicking with everyone due to the length, but as someone who loves dance-punk, it is eight and a half minutes of ecstacy. Watch the Tapes - A solid dance-punk track, but I also wouldn't notice a difference if it wasn't here. Fun but inessential. Sound of Silver - The reason this is my #3 album and not #1. After a decade of adoring this album, the title track has never clicked. It lacks the energy that makes their dance-punk songs work, while also having repetitive lyrics. Which, repetitive lyrics can be fine in the right hands - this just reads as a pale imitation of house music. After blowing up with a song titled "Daft Punk is Playing at My House," it makes sense they tried, but it ended up being the weakest track across their four albums. I still don't think it's outright bad, but this is a band where I think practically every other song they made qualifies as good at the minimum. New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down - An absolutely perfect closer, and LCD Soundsystem know it. This was their closing song at that first concert I attended, and even at their 'final show' before they got back together a few years later (they finally gave "All My Friends" that honor when I saw them again in 2017). Again, Murphy's lyrics are outstanding, a bitter assault on the city James Murphy calls home. But the real highlight is the furious explosion a bit past the halfway point, a cathartic release that Murphy would try to capture in two future songs (and he succeeded, those two being the best tracks off their respective albums). My ranking: 1. All My Friends (redacted) 2. Someone Great (redacted) 3. New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down (#515 all-time) 4. North American Scum (#837) 5. Get Innocuous (#2451) 6.

Snake5555555555 05/23/21 1:41:16 PM #11:	North American Scum All My Friends Us V. Them Someone Great Watch the Tapes New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down Time to Get Away Get Innocuous Sound of Silver This is my first time listening to this album front to back in full. I've heard most of the individual tracks before but never as one whole cohesive unit weirdly enough. And I loved it! The album maintains a consistent clean quality from 0:00 to 55:55, full of electronic layered soundscapes that are infectiously groovy, getting the spine moving even during the most innocuous of tasks, it's impossible to resist. Couple that with some of the most intelligent lyrics in the genre that encourage scream-alongs and introspective thought with hard partying, and you suddenly have an album that appeals and brings together two often disparate groups in pure musical unity. The track lengths seem long and daunting on paper, but in practice, these tracks are chock full of interesting and experimental instrumentation which both gives each song room to stretch its legs while also being long enough to maintain that trance-like sense of focus and danceability. I have what I think are the album's two biggest tracks on top as my casualness shows. North American Scum is the most punk song on the album, disparaging criticism of the United States while also accepting the country does have flaws and isn't perfect over hard electro with an especially catchy bass line. All My Friends sounds like a standard alt. rock song from the era to me, at least at the onset; the repetitive piano melody runs the risk of getting annoying but it never does. Actually, it only appears to grow in intensity as the rest of the track does the same, crafting this almost optical illusion of sound as guitars add depth and intrigue to Murphy's constantly marching vocals and by the time the track comes to a close you're enveloped in an aura of pure sound. Us V. Them has one of the best uses of repetition on the album, an example of some of the excellent sloganeering on the album that really lodges in your brain and will have you singing it out loud all day. This goes for Watch the Tapes too, a short firecracker of a top with some of the best with some enjoyable group background vocals and a good use of dropping out certain parts of the composition to bring other elements into the forefront. From my ranking it may seem like I dislike some of the more obviously dance focused tracks; I don't, I just think Time to Get Away and Get Innocuous are slow-burners, these tracks instead focus more on feeling and concentrated bursts of funk than the more instantly catchy mid-album tracks. Still quality in their own way. Finally, Sound of Silver is sparse and has some vocals that are a little too droney for my liking, but I do like how the song pops with an almost liquid effect and clever use of percussion. This was a great album overall, bursting with creative depth and some of the best dance tracks ever written. It's a genre that I'd love to explore more of in the future and if it's anything like this it will have me instantly hooked. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

Their self-titled is pure dance-punk, while This Is Happening and American Dream are more similar to Sound of Silver in their mix of sounds. This Is Happening especially stands out, almost on the same level as SoS. Unfortunately, dance-punk isn't the most common genre, and full albums are even rarer.

I'm just going to link the acclaimed music page here, as I like pretty much every song listed: http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/genre/genre111_s.htm</quote> Appreciate this, lots to check out here, gonna make a Spotify playlist. </quote> ...

Seanchan 05/23/21 4:40:19 PM #15:	Surprised I had the least deviation for Dirt! I realized after I posted that making The Wall take 2 weeks would mean Hamilton no longer lines up with July 4th week. Hamilton is more the one I'm worried about since that's over 2 hours long. Having never heard it before, it's a bit much to ask someone to do a minimum of 3 listens in a week. Asking just for a top 15 doesn't really help much (I don't think) since you still have to listen to the whole thing. Basically, I'm thinking maybe leave The Wall at a week and just give Hamilton the extra week. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! <cite>Seanchan posted [p:954221260] in Rank the T...

Seanchan 05/23/21 6:19:08 PM #23:	My first listen I just, well, listen; maybe mark down the songs that stand out, if I'm able. Second listen is when I try to get a ranking in place. Third listen I do in my ranking order, so it's easier to see when something is "out of order". I would plan on doing a watch of Hamilton as one of my listens, probably the first, as I think it would bring an extra dimension to watch the actual play. Anyway, back to our featured album, Sound of Silver... First listen was extremely positive. After U2 and Radiohead and Alice in Chains, this album is a well needed breath of fresh air that's much more in the wheelhouse of my current listening tastes. That first song grabbed me quick and then the rest of the album kind of never lets up (except for that last song which I wasn't too fond of). There are some really great beats here!

ZaziGuado 05/24/21 1:56:52 PM #29:	All My Friends Someone Great North American Scum New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down Get Innocuous! Us V Them Watch the Tapes Time to Get Away Sound of Silver Sound of Silver was my first LCD Soundsystem album. 11 or 12 years ago, I did the whole users nominate songs for me to rank topic and All My Friends was one of them. It sat at #2 for the longest time until I finally resisted the urge to keep longtime favorite Say It Ain't So at the #1 spot and swapped them. If I were to make any sort of "all time favorite songs" ranking, All My Friends would be Top 10 without any doubt, and I hesitate to not just say Top 5 as well. I love this song. There are so many metaphors one could use to compare this song to life. Unfortunately, I don't really have the capacity or desire to do that at the moment, but I know they are there. I wrote at the time of ranking that this is the kind of song that in the future I would find myself drunk listening to it and starting to cry 5-10 years down the road. While that hasn't happened, I still don't rule out the possibility. That's a lot to write towards one song, but Sound of Silver isn't just a one song album. Someone Great is the perfect lead-in track to All My Friends and forms one of the best two song punches an album can have. I can only hope that when I die I had such a profound impact on somebody's life that they experience these emotions about me. It was also fun that when I listened to 45:33 that Someone Great found its start there. While it's not a one song album, it can certainly feel like a two song album at times given my love for Someone Great and All My Friends eclipses anything the rest of the album could possibly hope to achieve. Get Innocuous is a geat appetizer and North American Scum is a lot of fun. However, I find myself tuning out a bit after the climax of Someone Great and All My Friends. I actually enjoy Us V Them and Watch the Tapes quite a bit, but I still feel like I'm almost laboring through them after the emotional journey of the two tracks that preceded them. It doesn't feel right to go to dancey dancey good time, but that's a place where more metaphors about life could be inserted by somebody who loves to wax philosophical more than I do. Sound of Silver is super great, but in a way having two of my favorite songs in existence on it, especially smack dab in the middle of the track list, hurts my enjoyment of the album as a whole. Because of this, I probably prefer This Is Happening if I were to choose to listen to an LCD Soundsystem album. However, I would still recommend Sound of Silver, perhaps even as the first album, to anybody curious about listening to LCD Soundsystem. --- snowpork azuarc is OP. <cite>ZaziGuado posted [p:954249405] in Rank the T...
