Listened through about 3 EPs of Jesu...HOLY GOD amazing stuff. Everything just melds together musically, and even though there's a doom element in some of their songs- I never sense any melancholy overtones in the overall feeling of their music. Just an amazing band.

Okay I'll check that album out.

Also, I have an odd question. I have Beggars Banquet, Exile and Sticky Fingers from the Stones and I have Who's Next, Live At Leeds, and Who Sell Out from the Who. I want to get another album from one of them and it's between Let It Bleed (I think that's their best album I don't have right?) from the Stones and Quadrophenia from The Who. What album should I get between them?

Howard the Duck

you already have had my opinion

if you want to get "Let it Bleed", get the latest 2008 (?) 24-bit remaster cos it's really dynamic and crunchy

Not on Let It Bleed vs Quadrophenia I haven't. I know you said get Quad as my next who album, but which of these albums do you think is better?

Really? I had heard that the 90s master of Let It Bleed was much better and less compressed. So far, I have the 90s editions of all the Stones albums except for Exile which I have the remaster of.

Howard the Duck

i'll say they're about the same level, i guess it just depends on which group you like more

i had the 90s Let It Bleed (threw it away in one of my mad fits), the 2008 remaster is a huge leap
