I'd take Sleeping Village, Wicked World & Warning over that tiresome dirge of a title track any day of the week.

Actually I like even less than half of it, but what IS good is transcendent

U2 - The Joshua Tree.
Hate the first 3 tracks (their big hit singles) and then Bullet The Blue Sky kicks in and it's like yes this is damn good and then it dips again before Trip Through Your Wires and Exit really get me again.
Every QOTSA album.
Every Faithless album.
Moby - Play.
The last half of the album really dips in terms of energy although there are some good tracks. If the running order was tweaked to include the down tempo stuff earlier I would rate it so much more.
Arcade Fire - Funeral.
Neighbourhood No. 3 and Haiti are brilliant tracks but the rest of the album is meh for me.

I agree for the most part, but I think Songs For The Deaf is all great. Not much that strikes me as filler on there.

I used to feel the same, it's definitely a grower, and it doesn't grow very fast. But after many a listen, it's one of my favorites.

Well I bought the album 18 years ago, the rest of the album hasn't grown on me at all. I feel the same way about DV in 2013 as I did in 1995. I'm glad the rest of the album clicked for you, it never did for me. For the life of me I can't imagine playing "The Bends" on purpose.

It's a good party song.

Well, if it's any consolation, the three that I posted utterly blew me away in 1995 and continue to do so to this day

You don't like this?



That's honestly my favorite on the album.

Well, again, I'm glad you like it. You'll have to take my word for it, I've owned the album for 18 years and I really only listen to the 3 I posted.
