Great match Loveless, I'm hoping that you can hang on to the runner-up spot 🙏

Sorry to go off-topic but since you mentioned it, I used to rank Sopranos #1 too, but after I finished The Wire, that's #1 for me now. Sopranos is a close #2. 😉 Keep us posted on which ranks #1 when you're finished...

Oh, yeah! Which team am I voting for? I don't think I've heard enough to make an educated vote. I actually like Don't Stop Believin'. I'll admit it. 🫢 🤣 But I also like the CYHSY debut album.

You should check out Deadwing and Discipline. They're good.

Checked out Discipline, it IS good. Will take quite a number of listens to fully appreciate two titles that I find less enticing as of now, but I'm willing to give it a few more gos. Thanks.

I guess it would be nice to add something for my other albums, too.

Discipline

"very original sound for progressive-rock band.
one of best their works"
~ WrathchildIX (BEA)

"Fripp's gang played music as angular and tense as any post-punk group while as precise and rhythmically propulsive as a Bartok string quartet"
~ Dominique Leone (Pitchfork Media)

IMO this is certainly a very different kind of King Crimson, to the point I would say, that the album shouldn't really be considered as "prog rock". I'm not sure what fans of early Crimson think of it (I'm not sure myself, how this can be compared to, say, Red or In the Court...), but Fripp is pretty much at his best, and that GOB Bluth look-alike is a very energetic presence.
This following video was actually the first thing I ever saw by King Crimson. Great performance, great Fripp.

Faith
"A depressing record, certainly, but also one of the most underrated and beautiful albums the Cure put together. They would not touch on this sort of lush sadness so well again until 1989's Disintegration."
~ Allmusic

"Brooding, moody, depressive and amazing. All Cats Are Grey shows how music can move people and how (at one stage) the band created the perfect song."
~ harkan (on his chart)

Well let's listen to All Cats Are Grey. It's probably my favourite song on the album, too

Link

Computerwelt

"This album makes me wish my computer had a vagina"
~ axd (RYM)

"This prescient sonic landscape still leaves one feeling with the sensation of having swum through a prickly but immaculate ocean of 0s and 1s."
~ Slant Magazine

And here's Kraftwerk in action:

It's the most I've ever seen them move around.

Ouch, that 81 team is such a mix bag of love and hate for me ... Will love or hate win? The suspense is killing me!

I promised Loveless... Cramps = guaranteed Magenta Vote

And so 81 it is (even with King Crimson)

Plus I am also overwhelmed with all the relentless promotional stuff from 95 (sorry JoD... I know it takes effort.. it's just TOO MUCH!)

I think The Sopranos is the greatest drama in television history (though I am only halfway through The Wire) so I guess I don't have the same aversion to Don't Stop Believin as the rest of you. I'm still voting for 2005 on the basis of Gorillaz and Go! Team though.

2005 QUOTES & PROMOS

Takk by Sigur Ros

"Tough to decide if this is better than Agaetis Byrjun. This album feels much more consistant, soaring and piano led, but rarely hits the heights Agaetis Byrjun gets from moments like the repeated "bongs" on Svefn-g-englar or the strings and horn arrangements in Staraflur - but Takk is short(er) and sweet. It feel like the honest, no-nonsense little brother.
It also has Hoppipolla going for it, which may well be Sigur Ros' finest effort. Milano is just as epic with it's crashing chorus and wails from Jonsi.
Incredible all the way through, one of my all time favourites. Sigur Ros somehow manages to sound big, larger than life without becoming the least bit pretentious."

CalamityCat, BEA

Link

I Am A Bird Now by Antony And The Johnsons

"One of the few albums where the guest vocalists actually lend to the overall ambience rather than STAND out. Beautiful and very touching."

johnner, BEA

Link

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

"Clap Your Hands traffics in melodic, exuberant indie rock that pairs the shimmering, wafting feel of Yo La Tengo with a singular vocal presence that sounds like Paul Banks attempting to yodel through Jeff Mangum's throat. Or imagine the Arcade Fire if their music were more fun-loving and less grave."

Pitchfork

Link

Deadwing by Porcupine Tree

"‘Deadwing’ is a heavy but sad record, a dark and beautiful surreal ‘ghost’ story. The lyrics resonate with the listener and the musical composition highs and lows create an emotional feeling that classical music and only a selected few musicians have been able to construct."

Sputnik Music

Link
