3, 4 and TTBCI all have the same number of Scott compositions, I think? 10 per album.

I could happily listen to 13 ballads out of 13 tbh.

I think those early albums are best served by the themed discs in the "In Five Easy Pieces" box set.

Foot, knee, shaggy belly, faceFamous hindlegs,As one of their ownYou graze with them.Cro-magnon herdersWill stand in the wind,Sweeping tails shining,And scaled to beginShutting down here
Surprised there's no dedicated thread for Climate of Hunter. Not my favourite, but sometimes it is?

Soused has also gone up a bit in my estimation while Bish Bosch has gone down slightly.

(xp) One of my favourite opening lines to a song.... album, in fact?

Two reasons why it's undervalued:
- the songs on side two are weaker copies of those on side one, with an acoustic cover in place of an orchestral ballad- it's seen as a transition between Nite Flights and "where he meant to go" on Tilt

Bish Bosch was such a laborious listening experience that I never got round to Soused, but I mean to. I was "Scott Walkered-out".

Xp yeah I was just listening to side two and thinking exactly that: it's just a less memorable copy of side one. And yeah a transitional album hammocking seventeen years between Nite Flights and Tilt.
Forget how many big guest players are on Climate - Mark Knopfler, Evan Parker, Billy Ocean

I love BB but mostly for key tracks like Epizootics! and the crazy long one about Pole Sitting

Soused was a bit underwhelming coming off the back of the fuller orchestrations on BB. I had extremely high hopes for it. It's got some great Ligottian dread mysticism going on. But Sunn O)))'s boneshaking frequencies are reduced to a vespine buzzing and repeated lyrics like "bump the beaky" get irritating after a while.
I feel really really sad knowing that he had more songs in the works with lyrics written that we'll never get to hear

flashbacks to the Soused listening event in a church in London, an intoxicated (?) lady wanting everyone to dance and being escorted out by security. this music is not danceable.

I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump n beak
