My Bloody Valentine vs. Chicago: Tinnitus FTW

Kevin's voice sucks, Bilinda's is awesome.

Ride is a worthless, shitty band. This is a very good record. For the first time in quite a while, I'm happy.

Ride is a worthless, shitty band. This is a very good record.

Both of these statements are hilarious.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm totally behind the second one.

Definitely a very good album. Not as good as Nowhere though.

I like this album a lot. Not sure how much, I can't wait to give it some more listens. Especially once that vinyl gets here...in a month.

That album cover looks a lot better on your phone there, DB

20+ years and the best album title you can come up with is the band's initials?

Fuck off.

YAWN.

No band with a song such as Leave Them All Behind deserves to be tagged as 'worthless' or 'shitty.'

I'm just gonna go basic here, but "Vapour Trail" really kind of makes that comment impossible.

I hope Christgau drops a great score on mbv like he did for everything else of theirs.

Xgau is even shittier and more worthless than Ride, for whatever it's worth. Meanwhile, though the cover sure is cringe-worthy, the record sure is great.

This is acceptable.

Seriously the worst critic. Granted, it is hilarious to read his self-obsessed reviews for entertainment value. Magnificently out-of-touch, and so beautifully oblivious.

 

[If you shout...]

Wonderful record, though! I can't believe it, but it is so.

The Dean's List 2012 - The Barnes & Noble Review


Try again.

 

[u2popmofo]

That top 15 looks pretty out of touch to me.

I still hate the last 2 songs on this album, I'm ok with everything else for the most part.

 

[If you shout...]

"Barnes & Noble." lmfao!!!

 

[lazarus]

Homie's gotta eat.

Blame the Village Voice corporate offices for firing many of their well-paid veterans.

 

[No spoken words]

Can I blame you for having your head up that guy's ass?

 

[LemonMelon]

Though I enjoy Christgau's reviews, calling yourself The Dean is douchey as hell. Unless your name is Dean, in which case it's even douchier.

But Psychedelic Pill topped his list, so that's good.

Edit: Nevermind. AMERICANA topped his list. What a douchebag. I misread it because I couldn't believe a person could have an opinion that terrible.

 

[Danny Boy]

I have to say the album is basically what I expected. I don't mind Wonder 2. I even like how the drums build in Nothing Is, but the track goes on a bit too long. Overall, definitely not disappointed.

 

[u2popmofo]

You don't think Oh Susanna and My Darlin' Clementine are the best songs of 2012?!



I like this album a lot more today. Definitely sounds better on headphones.

It demands to be played loudly.

 

[bono_212]

I liked Wonder 2 a lot

 

[LemonMelon]

From what I was reading, most people did. I liked how the album got heavier and heavier still near the end.

Fiona Apple was at 15. And I don't think I saw cat power at all. Doesn't that mean you have to disown him now?

It's kind of pointless to make the poll so binary when basically everyone likes this album to some degree.

94% in their poll.
