Listened to this album the other day (not my car, not my music) on a commute. It's pretty ok, yeah. I like the title track.
For serious? Californication guys. Everything but the title track. Seriously gorgeous songs. I wish they would release it without vocals. It would be the perfect album.

Really though, Anthony doesn't ruin it that badly.
If you say soe bae.

Anthony ruins everything. EVERYTHING. I want to go back in time and hunt down his mother, Sarah Conner-style.

I think their new one is far worse. What We Must has some good tracks, the new one has only one

I really the dig the new one, I'd put it ahead of One Armed Bandit. It's probably the most smooshable of their albums I think though, does tend to run together a bit unless you're actively listening.

Wanky Jazz era Karate is better than gloomy, sadman indie-rock era Karate.

BLASPHEMY. Maybe I need to listen to it more. I gave it 2 or 3 active listens and was pretty bored every time.

Some Boots is a rager. Unsolved is too. It's like if Codeine had Carlos Santana on lead guitar.

More washed out, old-man sad-rock could do with being spruced up by some Carlos Santana licks.

Unsolved is more "fun" to listen to overall I think. Some Boots just has that sad staying power for me.

Bed is in the Ocean is sadical too.

So quiet, I can hear that the refrigerator is on.

Oh, I got one! Atleast to the ears of ILF. :lol:

Despite being incredibly dated in styling, I still think Dream Theater's Awake/A Change of Seasons was a was a fantasitc album. :idk: I guess it's also bias because I grew up with it.

Here's one, Dave Matthews Band actually have some classics. Under The Table And Dreaming and Crash are both flawless.

Re: the haters, substitute "chew Big Red" in the video below with "think Under Table And Dreaming is a great album"

I always did prefer Modern Life is Rubbish anyway, as well as Blur and 13

Also, in terms of outside projects by band members - pick any Graham Coxon solo album, they're all better than Gorillaz.


I shall also offer these:

Mogwai haven't done a truly good album since Mr Beast.

The Jesus and Mary Chain never put our a bad album.

Oasis' last two albums, Don't Believe the Truth and Dig Out Your Soul are easily as good as (What's the Story) Morning Glory? and if anything, the real weak link in terms of Oasis albums is Heathen Chemistry. I'm guessing there's a reason why only Songbird from that album stayed in the band's setlist in subsequent years (Other than keeping Liam happy).

Staying with Oasis, their best album is actually the B-sides compilation The Masterplan
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff.

Wonderwall is the worst song I've ever heard and I know if I see a douchebag with an acoustic guitar, he's gonna bang out some even shittier rendition of it.
