Yes they were in awe of Teenage Fanclub, so what? Yes, they went 'baggy' about seven years late. Big deal. I loved 'em.

18 Wheeler's Formanka album is wonderful. their first one is rubbish, their last one is rubbish, but Formanka hit the nail on the head as far as Beach Boys-aping, grunge-lite, Evan Dando worshipping indie rock went.and it's nice and short too.

In a previous life, ILB commented on how the solitary saving grace of Kittie’s entire, pig-awful, career was the variety of gratuitous sexually violent fan fiction that’s out there on the internet about them. Have you ever wondered how Avril Lavigne would cope with a ruptured anus if she was kidnapped by Kittie, sleep-deprived, and then fed nothing but dog faeces for a week? Well, do yourself some googling and fap like crazy. Then shoot yourself.

I had the Tiger album too. This is kind of weird because in them days I had no money for albums so only actually bought a few a year when I had xmas and birthday money and my priorities were PULP and SUEDE. Probably it was in the bargain bucket :(

You have to check out Bellatrix's first album, or even the earlier Icelandic releases. Beat "It's all true" by a thousand miles.
― opecimmac, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 20:06 (eleven years ago) link
Subcircus's first album was a classic example of how to ruin a bunch of decent songs through over-production. Listen to the demos/live tracks on the 86'd single, and you might think, "Wow, this band had something going for them." Then you compare them to the finished album versions and it's like "...Oh." Such a disappointment.
Just to prove a point, here's the studio version of "Gravity Girl & Analogue", followed by the live version. Compare and contrast.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=potZ8bF6x64https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YK5D8EZQ0M

i only know "g" and "stranger tales" of their earlier stuff. "g" is great, probably my favourite thing of theirs, but the previous album is shite imo
― electricsound, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 23:01 (eleven years ago) link
Yes it's Stranger Tales. Haven't got a chance to hold "g" yet. It's not a surprise that people don't like that one. I mean, there were quite a few amateurish moments, and the album as a whole is pretty raw/unpolished in every aspect.
