The album peters out toward the end for me too, but partly just because there is so much going on in each track that I lose stamina.

i have a feeling that people voting '1000 Deaths' or 'The Charade' were not hardcore Voodoo fans.

I just listened to this whole thing on my morning commute and if anything I was surprised at how much of the back half I actually remembered, stuff like the Door is great

Οὖτις, Thursday, 9 June 2016 17:27 (seven years ago) link

so many different faves kind of enhances this record for me -- love The Door, love Back to the Future (both parts), don't actually love the poppier stuff on this record as much (Charade, Really Love). Voted 1000 Deaths, but 2 or 3 others very close behind

whats not to really love about really love?

Spottie, Thursday, 9 June 2016 17:48 (seven years ago) link

there's some stylistics tune with a sitar on one of their classic albums that i've always loved and another life totally feels like an homage to that

Totally.

The "When I come around" bits on this song are deliriously beautiful.

my concern would only be that you don't have serenity. (stevie), Thursday, 9 June 2016 21:50 (seven years ago) link

i forgot how good this album is

imago, Thursday, 9 June 2016 22:56 (seven years ago) link

like, not just 1000 Deaths but the other tracks too

imago, Thursday, 9 June 2016 22:57 (seven years ago) link

went with "Another Life" because that's my favorite at the moment, but it could have easily been just about anything.

I'm so in love with 1000 Deaths being back to back with The Charade, I wish I could vote for both, will probably go with the former, but only barely over the latter

Ain't That Easy is what has always stuck with me for some reason

I love that Charade is, sonically, the 'lightest' track on the album - like it's made out of air and zephyrs and wispy diaphanous silk - but lyrically the heaviest.

my concern would only be that you don't have serenity. (stevie), Friday, 10 June 2016 09:42 (seven years ago) link

1000 deaths for me...sounds like a unreleased Eddie Hazel track...brilliant

I do love 1000 Deaths, I wish the mix weren't so murky-sounding though.

1000 deaths is incredible though marred by the sampled NOI speech which for me symbolises those parts of the NOI im not really so into (which is a whole other thread, though one i would be happy to take part in). having to hear it everytime i put the song on irritates me.

StillAdvance, Friday, 10 June 2016 13:11 (seven years ago) link

the fred hampton part also makes more sense for the song.

StillAdvance, Friday, 10 June 2016 13:14 (seven years ago) link

1000 Deaths sounds like it fell off The Reality Of My Surroundings

my concern would only be that you don't have serenity. (stevie), Friday, 10 June 2016 14:39 (seven years ago) link

The murk is what makes it taste so good

I voted "1000 Deaths" and Voodoo is top 5 ever afaic

Like yooooo, he's allowed to do different things. Something like "Betray My Heart" is good but we'd already heard him do that style to perfection.

Hey (Extended Mix), Saturday, 11 June 2016 01:15 (seven years ago) link

i cant really remember these songs in my head, except for maybe charade or 1000 deaths (i enjoy walking around doing a dangelo murmble). does anyone walk around singing anything from here? not that it really matters. not everything has to do that for you. and when its on, i love it. but for some reason im not recalling the second half that well. anyway, id vote for another life or tutu or prayer. only song i dont like that much is back to the future. something about that rhythm thats a bit dull.

I have definitely sung "Really Love" to my gf a lot of times.

Hey (Extended Mix), Saturday, 11 June 2016 01:17 (seven years ago) link

It's weird how few of the lyrics I know to this album considering how many times I've listened. I have a lot of nonsense syllables that I sing along.

socka flocka-jones (man alive), Saturday, 11 June 2016 02:44 (seven years ago) link

one of them is "fadoop"

three weeks pass...

I haven't listened to this in ages, but "1000 Deaths" is always the one that leapt out at me.

J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 July 2016 04:17 (seven years ago) link

His vocal just gliiiiiides along on Another Life, and the chord changes are to die for.
