By "more American" I mean that the number of American posters as compared to European posters has gone up, which'll probably mean less votes for techno, as it is/was more popular in here than in the US, especially during the 90s.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 06:33 (4 years ago)
"The Diamond Sea" alone makes it worth it. Totally epic. One of SY's greatest songs.
Also, I've always loved the amazing "meta" uber-reflexive cover featuring pimply Lollapalooza teens wearing SY "washing machine" t-shirts.
― Jacobo Rock (jacobo rock), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 06:56 (4 years ago)
you're all OTM. one of my favorite SY records. someone gimme a vinyl compy so i can be a jerkoff. did it ever come out on LP? i love these songs: becuz, the diamond sea, saucer-like, skip tracer, washing machine (which has some intentionally brutal vocals but descends into gorgeous guitar jamz), little trouble girl...
fuckin classic.
― Special Agent Dale Koopa (orion), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 14:42 (4 years ago)
Classic. Only clunker is indeed "Panty Lies" which I hate more than almost any other SY song. The solo in the middle of "Washing Machine" is up in the stratosphere, and "Unwind" is one of the most beautiful songs I know.

That said, I voted for Stereolab, XTC *and* De La Soul among my ~195 albums, and if that helped put them into the top 102 over the fuck knows how many albums received 30 points, then I've done my job already.
The great thing about SY is that, even though all their albums are tangentially similar, everyone is passionate about their own favorite. Me? I could care less about Washing Machine, but I know several people who swear by it.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 26 April 2010 20:08 (fourteen years ago) link
It's all about "Skip Tracer" and "The Diamond Sea," surely I'm not the only one who swears by these tunes (even though the full album's a bit of a mess).

i love the songwriting on debut! and i love the production, how clean it is, crisp yet detailed.
i think homogenic feels more like a landscape (didn't she record it in the mountains?) and debut is more about songwriting
― surmounter (rra123), Thursday, 25 January 2007 18:14 (3 years ago) Bookmark
Debut is so spare that it almost sounds like home recordings, which, in retrospect, is a large part of its charm. I love them both for different reasons but, at present, Debut ranks a bit higher because I still remember how GREAT "Big Time Sensuality" and "Violently Happy" sounded in clubs.

My girlfriend did this with Bjork the result of which is much screaming and nashing of teeth when I attempt to listen to Hyperballad or something. This resulted from a common early nineties over-indulgence by young women in too much Debut.
