LMP, did you see that I gave DSOTM two listens?

You should have given it two listens 3 or 4 years ago. What have you been doing that's more important?

I saw the first listen - glad you enjoyed the production, it's brilliant isn't it?

What were your favorite tracks/moments?

 

[Axver]

Animals or WYWH. Now.

Not having it.

Now I want to get some more Pink Floyd to see if they're this good most of the time. Supposedly they are.

 

[LMP]

Animals should be next on the list.

Then Meddle.

Time is an absolute masterpiece, but I liked each individual track as well as its superb flow. I can't think of much I dislike about it.

 

[LemonMelon]

Hey fellas. Moulin Rouge wasn't that bad.

Just out of curiosity, where does she store your balls?

 

[phillyfan26]

Anyone wanna send me Animals?

 

[phillyfan26]

Shut the fuck up, Donny.

He got her to watch Lebowski, so it's all fair.

 

[Axver]

Ah, here we go, The Verve's This Time. From when Richard Ashcroft didn't make shitty music. Of course, we all have Nick McCabe to thank. Nick McCabe is The Verve, really.

Also, I'm going to be crucified for saying this, but the Corrs song is one of the top five songs on this tracklist thus far.

I had some thoughts on it earlier. I could see the Across the Universe parallels, but this movie had something called a plot, and used said songs for another thing called plot development.

These are things that are hard to master, but could be done with time.

Time's fucking baller. I love Brain Damage, the sax in Us and Them, and all of Great Gig in the Sky... that's beautiful right there.

 

[phillyfan26]

The last three or four tracks are really fantastic together.

 

[Axver]

Animals should be next on the list.

Then Meddle.

Meddle? I think I've listened to that about two times in my entire life.

He should go:

1. WYWH
2. Animals
3. Piper

 

[phillyfan26]

I'm finishing Heathen right now. Not sure how I feel. I like the instrumentation, but Bowie's age shows in the vocals and it kind of sounds unenergetic in a number of places because of that.

 

[LemonMelon]

Nick McCabe is The Verve, really.

It's entirely unfair that Ashcroft gets the love, when he has about half the talent. But that's way things tend to go in music.

 

[redhotswami]

waht corrs song ax

 

[Axver]

Anyone wanna send me Animals?

I would if I weren't killing my bandwidth downloading DI stuff.

 

[Axver]

waht corrs song ax

Breathless.

I think the only better songs on the tracklist so far are The Verve's This Time and Talking Heads' The Book I Read. Though Spanish Eyes is up next.

No Animals before WYWH. I do think Pfan would like Have A Cigar though.

 

[redhotswami]

oh ia liek breaathless it is a prety song esp live

 

[Axver]

Yeah, people seem to just notice the frontman. McCabe has shitloads of talent, and Ashcroft's crappy solo career proves who had all the good ideas in The Verve. Though we didn't really need that proof, as the fact The Verve fell apart after McCabe left says it all in the first place.

I think the songs themselves are great. Sunday, Slowburn and Slip Away are my favorites.

 

[Axver]

I reckon WYWH first. It's more accessible than three sprawling 10+ minute songs and two inconsequential bookends.

Now, if he's down with SOYCD, then Animals is absolutely essential.

Slow Burn is my favorite track. Pete Townshend FTMFW

 

[Axver]

This Blur song, Tender, is pretty boring.

But here comes Spanish Eyes. Wey hey hey!

McCabe's guitar tone on A Storm In Heaven is the pretty much the best thing ever. I still think that's one of the best guitar records of all time in spite of its downbeat vibe.

 

[LMP]

What about The Wall?

If we're doing it in terms of popularity, that's the next logical step.

There isn't a weak track on Meddle... even if there's only 5.

Well one of those songs is Wish You Were Here, possibly one of Pink Floyd's worst.

I know I probably shouldn't like it. But it's well-written and I like their vocals.

Let's not frighten the poor lad. The Wall is hardcore shit. And Axver would agree with that to some extent or another...

ANIMALS.
