1977 by Ash. Essentially a perfect and spectacular album, except for the inexplicable hidden track of them laughing and (supposedly) vomiting.

Demo by Sailboats.

"behind trees" & "two" are some of the most mindshatteringly good skramz songs,
but "fifty-three seconds" and "four" are absolute shit, although i've heard that they were just joke tracks.

Possibly the most personal and saddest lyrics he ever wrote.
At first I thought this song was about a relationship, until I considered this possibility. That he's telling us about what he thinks of death. "Committed still I turn to go. I put my trust in you".
How can you leave that out?

A legacy so far removed,
One day will be improved.
Eternal rights we left behind,
We were the better kind.
Two the same, set free too,
I always looked to you,
I always looked to you,
I always looked to you.
We fought for good, stood side by side,
Our friendship never died.
On stranger waves, the lows and highs,
Our vision touched the sky,
Immortalists with points to prove,
I put my trust in you.
I put my trust in you.
I put my trust in you.
A house somewhere on foreign soil,
Where ageless lovers call,
Is this your goal, your final needs,
Where dogs and vultures eat,
Committed still I turn to go.
I put my trust in you.
I put my trust in you.
I put my trust in you.
I put my trust in you.
In you. In you. In you.
Put my trust in you, in you.

I didnt say lyrically it was bad, there's no such thing with Joy Division but the music it's self just completely turns me off.

Its actually a great album, every song is awesome and sends you into a headbanging frenzy. But after listening to it, you feel that Mustaine could have done a little bit more with the album, take it to the next level. Its like eating a satisfying meal but for some reason your stomach isn't exactly full.

You need that little sweet dessert to top off the meal, eh?

That's why i pretty much only do Variety of my own making.

Probably my favourite track too.

I'm surprised people think "Elephant Stone" doesn't improve Stone Roses. I think "Elephant Stone" was arguably the best song they ever did (I go back and forth between "Elephant Stone" and "Made Of Stone").

I guess I'm probably the only one here who doesn't particularly care for Made Of Stone, but then again, I love Don't Stop and Shoot You Down.

Shoot You Down is a great song. Made of Stone is also great, but there are much better songs in that record, such as This is the One, Sugar Spun Sister and Waterfall, to name a few.

I saw the UK LP yesterday going for 50 bucks! It's two vinyls for some reason. Each side only has 2 songs : S

Oh! And I have another contribution: Synchronicity by The Police. I'm thinking of the song "Mother." I really don't know what they were thinking - may someone enlighten me?

Just remembered Leonard Cohen's 'I'm Your Man' falls nicely into the flawed masterpiece category. It'd be a classic if it weren't for Jazz Police which is a bit, y'know, ****
