Love this from beginning to end, with the Beatles cover being the weakest link. My vote goes to "Mirage".

This may have been polled before; I'm not bothering to check.

I just realized I need to buy this.

same here. only one I know is “jigsaw feeling” and it rules
― brimstead, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 01:10 (four years ago) link
Pretty much every song rules.

How come neither Love In A Void nor Mae Up To Break-Up aren't on this?

MaKe
the 1st was a B-side and the 2nd was on the Polydor demos but not the LP, iirc

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Still get a rush when I hear "Carcass." As a kid when first heard it (from the Peel Sessions) I didn't have a lyric sheet and thought she sang "be endlessly in love, endlessly in love!" And I thought "that's right, love is dumb!" (Because other people seemed to be getting some.) Then I learned she was singing limblessly in love — the titular carcasses were literal. I liked that too, but lacked the means to hack apart any despised lovers in the locker-lined junior high hallways. At least I could go home and blast this album.

Early Banshees ruled so fucking hard.

I still think of "Join Hands" as the second disc of the double album.
― Mark G, Tuesday, 14 April 2020 06:54 (four years ago) link
Huh. I find Join Hands flat and dull compared to The Scream.

Large parts of Join Hands don't work as well as they should but the parts that do ("Icon" and PARTICULARLY "Playground Twist") are all-time

xp - yeah agreed that JH feels very dour and lifeless, apart from a couple of goth bangers (hello Icon). I guess internal dynamics must have been pretty bad for them to lose so quickly the debut's incredible energy.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

The two zero-vote placers also got zero last time; otherwise a light shuffling overall.

Where have all the Suburban Relapse boosters gone?
― DJP, Wednesday, 15 April 2020 15:56 (four years ago) link
Not feeling these results. Mirage and Metal Postcard are probably the two tracks I skip when I play this. Not bad songs per se but the most conventional ones on the album.
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Wednesday, 15 April 2020 17:19 (four years ago) link
I'm not sure how "Metal Postcard" is a more conventional song than "Jigsaw Feeling" or "Carcass"
― DJP, Thursday, 16 April 2020 13:29 (four years ago) link
I've always wondered how it was the only single out of the first dozen that was left off Once Upon A Time
