I just listened to The Holy Bible, and there's not really much there that interested me. It seemed really uninspired, and nothing really appealed to me.

The Holy Bible is not just their best album it it one of the greatest albums ever made. The album equivalent of the film Requiem for a Dream - it stains your consciousness in an uncomfortable but compelling way.

Ive been listening to MSP alot lately, and I think most of their stuff after THB is underrated. Sure, THB is the best, but EMG, TIMTTMY, and Lifeblood are still great! Oh yeah, SATG was really good too. Anyone else think the same?

Give THB another listen man! cause it really is outstanding! Especially the lyrics and the way James Dean somehow makes great melodies with them. One of the most underrated albums of the 90s!

EMG is like their Britpop album, and it's also damn good, although not as good as THB.

how could it be "underrated" when every single British music mag has it in their top albums list?

if anything, it's "overrated" for me

i only really like the lyrics, i prefer the glam-punk of GT
