haha I thought this was recent that I got to kidamnesiac's post. I miss his spars with Naples (among others).

I normally oppose bumping old AOTD threads, but upon looking through all of them in order this is the first AOTD thread in which Kidamnesiac calls out Naples on his best track picks.

I don't even like "Bitter Sweet Symphony", which should be the main attraction of this album - I'm familiar with a few songs, and they don't impress me.

I love "Bittersweet Symphony." I can listen to that track anytime. However, the rest of the album pales in comparison to that one track.

I find it dull too, and have listened to it in its entirety. "Bitter Sweet Symphony" was a great single. On the whole, I prefer Ashcroft's first solo issue.

good one, could've been better, if not some crap songs in this album 😕
This must be higher than any Oasis albums.

I haven't calculated the percentage. Do you expect radio stations to play just the crap? It would seem logical to expect them to play the best.
