I like These Arms Are Snakes more than Botch, Kill Sadie, and Russian Circles.

Most albums are 25-30% longer than they should be.

Same

I like Botch and Jesus Lizard influenced bands more than Botch and Jesus Lizard.

Still the most contentious post in the thread.

The riffs and synth layering on Machina are actually pretty rad.
The songwriting fucking meanders, though.

Oh yeah, definitely. Machina is heavier, but it's definitely front loaded in terms of song quality. Siamese Dreams is more consistent from beginning to end.

I like Machina all right but it's about as heavy as a wet tissue.

Everlasting Gaze has a classic vocal break though.

I always liked Gish the best

I suppose that depends on what you mean by 'heavy'. Maybe by doom/sludge standards it isn't heavy, but it's heavy in the sense that most of the songs create a dark, heavy atmosphere. Siamese Dream is lighter and more psychedelic. And in relative terms, a wet tissue is heavier than a dry tissue.

Machina rocks harder, too.

Gish is my favorite, too. Very psychedelic.

Gish is fantastic.

I think Nirvana was really good and I wish there was more of it. I can't listen to it, now. It makes my eyes leak.

Not really, you are just lying to your self

I still love Bleach.
Solid riffery on that record.
And the sound....so crunch.

Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die are heavily underrated.
