Hmmm...
Pink Floyd - The Wall Genesis (gabriel era) - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway Enslaved - Isa, Ruun and Vertebrae Ulver - Everything After Nattens Madrigal and before Shadows of the Sun Ayreon - 01011001 Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy Kings of Leon - Only By The Night There's more but some don't need mentioning, like Metallica's generaly ****e era that everyone hates.

It's a completely different beast to The Queen Is Dead really, you have a point in that it's an album by a band that are still trying to find their own sound but at the same time they're taking a few risks too and going out of their comfort zone, and it works so well. I wouldn't change a thing about this album. |

I think I said this somewhere else, but even the mix seems off. The whole thing sounds bland and unexciting. If it wasn't recorded track by track with the band phoning in their parts, it sure sounds like it. Even the lyrics are pretty bad (even by Smiths standards). I don't think there's a single memorable line in here, unlike their debut and TQID, which were full of great lines. That part in Rushholme Ruffians about "my faith in love is still devout" (and delivered in that awful falsetto) sums up everything I dislike about the album. But you're right from your side and I'm right from mine.

I love The Wall and Lamb Lies Down. They get way too much of a bum rap.

I thought that the new Who album was a huge letdown... But then what do you expect with 2 key members gone?

Yeah, Daltry's voice hasn't aged very well either.
