i'd rank gimme fiction below kill the moonlight, girls can tell, and ga*5 in that order, but it's still got some killer songs on it
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 17:41 (fourteen years ago) link
I listened to GAGAGAGAGAGA a bunch of times and liked it and yet just can't find it in me to care about ever listening to Spoon again or checking their other albums. Nice covers though.
― fuque santa cruz (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 17:42 (fourteen years ago) link
i know i've said this before but the front of gimme fiction slays and then it gets deathly boring for 3 or 4 tracks toward the back.

that album cover bothers me every time i see it, to the point where i've never even considered listening to the album
dumb, i know

p. good but would not make my top 100 for this period
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 17:52 (fourteen years ago) link
That's the sort of album cover that tells me I'm not gonna like the music inside. Quite helpful!

great the indiepop gestapo all coming out
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 17:57 (fourteen years ago) link
I rather like indiepop, but something about Camera Obscura (and it's not just limited to their packaging) rubs me wrong.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 17:58 (fourteen years ago) link
we wouldn't need to if indiepop would just die out
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 17:58 (fourteen years ago) link
same here, except i had previously decided to avoid camera obscura. funny how much consensus there is on this.
― good news if you wear cargo shorts (contenderizer), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 18:00 (fourteen years ago) link
I love indiepop but Camera Obscura is not a good band. They have a few good songs and that's it.

see mi yah is one of those albums that i really should have got round to hearing in the past half decade. all i have are scattered remixes (carl craig's "poor people must work" sticks out)...

Rhythm & Sound have always sounded better as a concept than what the actual music is like. The only tune by them I think is an absolute classic is "What a Mistry" with Tikiman.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 18:11 (fourteen years ago) link
see mi yah looks like it might be worth listening to, anyone wanna say more about it.

I like this, but not nearly as much as "With The Artists"
― Dan S, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 18:12 (fourteen years ago) link
actually i think i've ONLY heard the see mi yah remixes, not the originals.
when it was a big thing i was only just getting into mnml techno, so i think it passed me by. possibly because 10 versions of the same riddim seems a bit much even for me.

i don't know R&S, but the cover is great (reverse camera obscura effect)

Never heard of See Mi Yah before but it sounds kind of an interesting idea. Gimme Fiction is by no means a great Spoon album; Carter III is ok but I can't say I've listened to it loads since it came out.

are you referring to the classic rock tracks poll? i don't remember an "all time rock albums" poll. there's a thread for scheduling polls, anyhow.
― brimstead, Friday, 21 November 2014 23:36 (nine years ago) link
ILM Ballot Polls for 2014 and beyond -- order, timing, "I would have voted if I'd known about it," etc
all time poll,mid decade poll , decade polls and so on have to be booked on that thread.

We already have exceptions to the queue rule: EOY polls happen at the end of each year. If mid-decade polls are a thing that ILX "does", they should happen each year that's divisible by five imo.
