The Silent Shout Poll

Trees there will be Apples fruits maybe

damn I missed this. Marble House definitely. Forest Families is the only one I'm not so keen on. Maybe WSOMH or Like a Pen second.

na na na
This is kinda the only transitional/filler song on the album, to my ears.

How did that come in 5th? I absolutely adore this album and every track on it, but that to me is the least interesting track on the album, by far. Better than Neverland? The Captain? Like a Pen? No No No. Someone please defend this choice as THE best track on the album; I can't possibly imagine a good argument for it.

9. Forest Families 7

This makes me very, very happy.

well it's all really subjective. i love the bangers on the album but i personally enjoy the low key songs that keep the pacing and mood of the album (from off to on, nanana)

on to the song itself. i love the simple arpeggiated synth line with the lovely melody. what makes this track really special for me though is the 100 copies of karin's voice moving in every direction starting @ around 1 minute in

also it kinda works as a soliloquy for karin

the vocoded/masked voice is a big theme on this album. i mean, the name of the album itself implies something hidden within 'shouting' to get out. i think the masked vocals is a personification of this idea.

so we have fragile, simple song like na na na which puts this idea at the forefront. that, for me, is why i think it's such a special song

well said. the album is an embarrassment of riches.

every song on this is amazing

had i seen this i would have voted for "the captain" those tom rolls are probably my favorite thing on the whole album.

I voted "Marble House" but I could make an argument for voting for any of the other tracks, particularly WSOMH and "The Captain".

"The Captain" by far this poll's most underrated track, # of votes wise.

^ by far this threads's most underrated post

I voted for Na Na Na. I remember buying this and on my first listen I didn't really like it much apart from that song which I thought was so sweet. I kept going back to the album because of Na Na Na eventually falling in love with the rest of it. So I have that song to thank for really getting me into them and I love how it stands out as being the really light pretty moment of the record.

As many people have said this album is just about perfect.

The Captain is my favourite too. It makes me think of Macbeth's Weird Sisters for some reason.

Frankly every track on this general winner of an album is in itself a winner.

This album is the perfect soundtrack for WipeoutHD

can a mod change the poll results to "we're all winners"

I probably would have voted for 'Marble House', but to be honest I love every song on this album and the production still sounds impeccable to my ears. I think it's fair to say at this point that this record is a 100% bona fide synthpop classic. However, I've often found that the vocals on this record are a love-it-or-hate-it thing... there's been countless times I've played this album to people and the vocals have been a barrier to them getting into the record.

From off to on and one hit are my two favorite things here and they ranked the lowest. Shame on you ilm.
