Maybe I'm alone, but "Good Stuff" is at least as good as "Deadbeat Club."

Yeah, I'm not feeling that, but I do have an extended mix of Good Stuff with added horns that's really good.
I think the first four songs on the album, plus Mo-Dean, are pretty good, but second half really trails off.

Oh, but is Mo-dean the one that ends repeating "Astral Projector" ad infinitum? That's kind of annoying.

I sort of agree with this but I am not really a fan of "Deadbeat Club".

"Good Stuff" is much, much better than "Deadbeat Club." Nobody's dangin' on the Deadbeats.

Maybe, but I like the massed vocals that join in along the way.
Funplex is better than Good Stuff.

Agreed.

Okay, I relistened to Good Stufflast night, and some of the stuff I thought I didn't like much was better than I remembered. I STILL don't own Funplex and need to get.

so am i like the only person who thinks "Dry County" is a standout?
― some dude, Sunday, 28 March 2010 01:33 (3 years ago) Permalink
should probly relisten to this, but hate hate the sound of it so much (in comparison to my great love for anything whammy or earlier- or even the first schneider album)
― fat mantis (Hunt3r), Sunday, 28 March 2010 02:53 (3 years ago) Permalink
Dry County is pretty great, though I wouldn't exactly call it a standout...I love the way those little exhortations all the way through the song remind me of Prince, and the punchline is great...a really cool, bluesy (in tone not sound) song...
when I was nine I thought this song wz about living in the desert...

After listening to the album once more today, "Follow Your Bliss" really stood out.

Unfuckingbelievable rating Roam over Love Shack.

missed this poll, would have voted with the majority (Love Shack a close second). forgot how lovely Topaz is
When I was 11 I borrowed this tape from my local library and it made a big impression. I wrote out all the lyrics from the inlay in my school exercise book (including copying the zany lettering and doodles).

I saw the original LS 7" single in a charity shop. The sleeve was a folder thing which you could assemble into your very own love shack!

"Dry County" maybe the real overlooked gem here. But what a great record.

"Topaz" is so beautiful. I love this record.

Add me to the list of people for whom 'Roam' is their favourite track on this album. It's not a track that I listen to often, but it's nothing but sheer joy when I do.
― Turrican, Friday, 17 February 2012 23:07 (1 year ago) Permalink
I would love to do "Roam" at karaoke.

Of all the albums I've had since childhood, this is easily my favorite.
― da croupier, Saturday, 18 February 2012 06:24 (1 year ago) Permalink
was about to revive this thread and say basically what I said a year ago so let me just go ahead and retract my earlier shot against "Bushfire" - it's a little overlong but the harmonies are gorgeous, as they are basically across the whole record. Never fails to make me feel good.

I have a hard time imagining many people who could hate this album
― Master of Treacle, Sunday, 6 January 2013 02:31 (4 months ago) Permalink
Would have undoubtedly voted for 'Roam', and am absolutely delighted that it topped this poll. Every time I listen to this track I think to myself "man, this really could NOT get any better".

Topaz has been one of my go-to tracks ever since I started this poll: I never seem to tire of it
― gullible lochinski (Drugs A. Money), Sunday, 6 January 2013 05:01 (4 months ago) Permalink
basically every song on this album is fantastic, except for "Deadbeat Club" which is merely good
