I've only heard Taint Pluribus and Cunning Stunts, and I think they're both brilliant. Looks like I'll need to get onto checking out the rest!

Yeah, definitely check all of them out! The Cows have one of the most consistently excellent discographies in all of rock music. It was really hard for me to choose one over the other let alone choose their best album.

P.S. Torch of the Mystics is pure magic.

I can't disagree or agree with this, as I kind of like them all equally. But I appreciate that you didn't put Infinite Arms last...I feel it's underrated in many places, and it made a big impact on me in 2010.

Everything All the Time was really the only BoH that didn't click with me right off the bat, so I've just stuck with the latest two. Perhaps I should re-visit it.

I would assume that the culmination of Infinite Arms being a notable departure from their previous sound and their major-label debut had a lot to do with the less than warm reception it received from a lot of people upon release. I'd imagine a lot of those people have since warmed up to it. It's really an excellent album.

I'm home now and based on my iTunes ratings, Home Sweet Home is my lowest rated at 3 stars (though "Collision" and "Naked In Front of the Computer" are not rated). I'd probably give "Collision" 3 stars as well. I rated "Pristina" 4 stars...will have to listen again. Those I've given 5 stars are "Stripsearch", "Helpless", and "She Loves Me Not". Hmm, I do have 4 songs rated 5 stars on King for a Day, though. But many unrated so I don't remember. Maybe they are on par after all, as I was getting at anyway.

Lateralus > 10000 Days

They both come dangerously close.

Violent & Funky · 01-24-2011, 12:56 PM

I thought I should set this straight:

The Black Keys

Rubber Factory > Thickfreakness > Brothers > The Big Come Up > Attack & Release > Magic Potion
