This was enormous and I voted for it on the strength of one listen as well

oh man that's gorgeous, the only competition I have is my Oh, Common Life starburst red vinyl (though that only ran me 10 bucks CAD lol)
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 19:32 (seven years ago) link
This probably only cost $10 + $10 shipping when it came out

Oh, to have been into vinyl in the 90s.

YES BECAUSE I NOMINATED THEM

I also have the 10" split with Kodan Armada and the live tape. Would love to get the 2nd tape but there's only 29 of them

there's only one Gospel CD on discogs too. They totally need a reissuehttps://www.discogs.com/sell/item/441452079

well, shit. in that case I would like to take a moment to honor this beautiful version of "One More Creature Dizzy With Love" I've been obsessed with lately

Simon I just checked the original thread and you did nominate them. They somehow failed to get from that thread into the nomination list. I'm so sorry :(

Definitely going to have to listen to Gospel.

Another brilliant final album

iirc this was top five for me

it came out the same year as let england shake and i always associate them with each other bc they're both ghostly reinventions

literally dropped everything I was doing to go play this after reading this. I don't even recall reading/hearing anything about this album
― Evan R, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 19:53 (seven years ago) link
they sound absolutely nothing alike but I can see how someone would associate their ~vibes~

10 minutes in and I'm getting Leaves Turn Inside You vibes more than anything, which, well fuck yeah bring it

So far this is my favorite of the albums I discovered as a result of this poll.

finally listening to the Gospel album and it's incredible (tho I concur with the "not emo" diagnosis)

one of my faves
i've always thought the ugly organ was pretty uneven compared to domestica but the first five or so tracks are all fire

I have The Ugly Organ on CD and im sure its more grey than green on the cover

did anyone else do a "where's tim" scan of the accompanying art after hearing "I'm hiding in the leaves / in the CD jacket sleeve"
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:06 (seven years ago) link
no but we'll be doing a few "WHERE'S JIM" scans over the next couple days

oh common life is not going to place bc it disappeared from the noms but i would really like to isolate it as a record on which a pretty trad pop-punk band stretched out a lot and ended up making a really resonant album about death and trauma, and i've found i grow closer to it as i get older. i also think they're a pretty incomparable band lyrically
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:12 (seven years ago) link
is there going to be any more blink 182?
― gr8080, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:13 (seven years ago) link
Yup, it's a stellar album. Gospel is also very good, "I Was Born in the Dark" is a master class in songs under 150 seconds that nevertheless cram in a dozen musical twists xp
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:14 (seven years ago) link
Don't think it even got nominated by Mama, I'm Swollen was a way underrated LP with like 4 knockout songs on it. My favorite post-Ugly Organ Cursive album
― Evan R, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:15 (seven years ago) link
until very recently i preferred gospel. i go back and forth. fireworks were the first modern pop-punk band i really fell in love with xp

"even strangers are asking you / 'what the hell is wrong with him?'" on "one more creature dizzy with love" just kills me

I can't believe they didn't include a version of the title track, what a gorgeous song that is
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:17 (seven years ago) link
i programmed a version of the album where the title track is the opener. makes it a masterpiece imo lol
