This already feels like a mini-classic to me. Can't believe it's been nearly 2 years and I wonder how it stands up for you people. I think I like better now than when it was released. Poll away ILM.

I just played this last month for the first time in a while. 24 Hours is still the one I don't like very much, but my favorite is harder to pinpoint. I'll play it safe and go with I Blame Myself.

this might end up being one of the last CD's i will ever buy. ever since i have been on Spotify and doing it that way. the correct answer is probably "I Blame Myself" or is it "Night Time, My Time?" voting "Boys."

i hated this record when it came out and two months later i loved it. "heavy metal heart" for the manic compression but it could also easily be "nobody asked me"

kristine!!

the lyrics, the bizarre sounds. i didn't know what to make of it at first.

I Will. It's buried in the middle of side 2 for some reason, but it's so catchy

WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT WON'T WE?

I voted "Boys", what a rush of a song, but then "Ain't Your Right" burns harder. this is where I go for my JAMC fix lately.

omanko is crazy

i love how basically every song on this album is someone's fav (except like "love in stereo" but i like that one a lot anyway)

dyl, Wednesday, 19 August 2015 19:38 (eight years ago) link

I still find this to be awfully harsh sounding for a pop album, but listening to "I Blame Myself" again today, I'm more convinced than ever that it is one of the half-decade's great singles.

Honorable Mention, though, to "Love in Stereo," the hidden gem of the record.

flappy bird, Thursday, 27 August 2015 00:11 (eight years ago) link

when i revisited this record i figured out i should've voted for "love in stereo"

Completely missed this. Would have gone for I Will.

I'm ready for a follow up album.
