1. The Sunset Tree
2. We Shall All Be Healed
3. Tallahassee
4. Get Lonely
5. Heretic Pride
6. The Life of the World to Come

I think anyways...this was a tough call for the most part.

Ok, so I haven't done this yet and after much thought I have come to this conclusion:

1) Tallahassee
2) Get Lonely
3) The Sunset Tree
4) WSABH
5) TLOTWTC
6) Heretic Pride

I mean there are aspects that I like about them all but this would be the order in which I would place them.

what? 12 people on this thread, out of however many of us there are on this forum, rated it last in a list of fave-to-least-fave 4ad-only releases. i hardly would consider that definitive.

i just sit here in my cave and absorb your facts and figures.

I'd like to say that I've been doing something progressive with myself but...eh...not really. Working two jobs. Getting bits and pieces of a studio I'm starting to build in the mail. Sitting around playing guitar. Drinking too much. I'm flattered that you noticed my lack of presence though. You're definitely one of the guys on here I'd love to sit down and have a brewsky with.

cheers chomsky!



work pays off. keep it up.

not just in this thread though. i remember some other time someone was like heretic pride is garbage and other people were like yeah yeah it is.

anyway, my wrath has subsided now

Trust me ZS, I rated Get Lonely at #2, I know whacha mean. LOL!

But as for HP, I just haven't found that relationship with it that others may have. Just like others haven't found it with GL. Timing. It's aaallll about timing. IMO.

im just being over protective. that's all. hating when people dont think somethings the greatest is what i do best. i had a similar thing when get lonely was released and everyone on livejournal was like this is a break up album and it sucks.

---

[kidsteel.bandcamp.com]

Yeah, I hear that a lot about GL. I really thought it was more about different ways people find themselves feeling lonely. But yeah, why is it when you think something is great, not everyone in the world agrees??! I mean whatssup widdat??!!

Let's get him!



Just kidding, of course. Johnp is a solid dude to whom I owe many thanks.

Check the white text! Apology included in advance.

I always read these forums on my iPhone. The white text is lost on me. It's cool johnp, you'll always be aces in my book.

I'm still trying to figure out NFJ at #11.

Too fragmentary, Jeffries too piercing, old songs re-done, but... but... Waving At You. It's just that I almost never put it on start to finish, like WSABH and TLOTWTC.

As stated elsewhere, all 12 are head, shoulders, knees and toes above most else and this list lark is like picking a favourite child (of which I have only two).

What's your own #11, Cali?

NFJ is my least favorite and I have no problems admitting it. I just don't like it. Kaytree can flip out all she wants and make ridiculous and insulting statements...but it's simply not for me.

Well. I can tell you #1 would be FFG and #12 would be GL. Beyond that I really need to do some thinking and get back to you.

Agreed! Curious to hear 2 - 11, whenever.

I'm unsure about NFJ being fragmentary. Well, I mean, it is fragmentary, but every time I listen I feel like there's some sort of thread there. I don't know what it is or if it's just some loose themes (and the sound of the album), but I do believe there's something. Does anyone else pick up on this? Or think that there's something more cohesive that I'm missing?

P.S.
HP over Sweden. AHHHHHHHH. (those would be my 1 and 12, if I hadn't made that clear already)

P.P.S.
Waving at You is awesome.
