I'd take their first album over CTD any day though.I've just made a mix CD for a friend with Turbonegro's 'I Got Erection' followed by SKs' 'A Real Man'.

Ninetynine's latest stuff is really nothing like S-K anymore. Especially the tracks written/sung by Cameron their drummer. Bizarre stuff.

I'll still stick with my old opinion: I think every Sleater-Kinney album since DMO is stronger than the last, tho I love them all.

I love all their LPs, but 'Call The Doctor' still reigns supreme. No, it doesn't have Janet or steller production, but it's like some kind of mid-90s post-Riot Grrl 'Zen Arcade'-in-miniature and the emotion and emerging songcraft (not that I'm dissing the S/T, mind you) beats the shit out of most other records that decade...

i listen to dig me out a lot more at the moment cos its the only sleater-kinney album that i haven't lsitened to way too much. but i still say call the doctor is better. another clincher - laura's haunting backing vocals on songs like taste test.
― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Saturday, 20 September 2003 23:03 (twenty years ago) link
I LUV them all, but would currently rank them like this:
1. One Beat 2. Dig Me Out3/4. Call the Doctor/The Hot Rock (tie)5. All Hands on the Bad One6. Sleater-Kinney

(but they're all pretty great).
I was severely disappointed in One Beat when it came out, I played it a bit this spring, but I found it in a misplaced binder this week, and there are just no bad songs on it.

7) Hot Rock...(not that I dislike it, just didn't effect me as the others and I hardly ever isten to it, but should probably reinvestigate - I really liked the first half, but then it lost me, if I remember right)

But Corin didn't really get her voice under control fully until All Hands
personally i wish corin had NEVER had singing lessons, she used to sound much more expressive.

Inspired to listen to the first one again for the first time in a few years -- maybe I should bump it up over All Hands on the list above.

First thing he did in a million years that DIDN'T irritate me. Though he was rather vague about why he didn't like it, probably cuz he would have to admit he had overrated AHOTBO. Though he apologized recently by pitching woo about how great Corin's duet with Eddie Vedder on "Hunger Strike" live was. If he's gonna praise her Chris Cornell covers than he's still an insane hyper-fan.
I still adore the Call/Dig/Hot troika. And there's some great songs on the later albums.

One Beat is an amazing album no matter what, and who cares what some old, possibly-irrelevant intellekshuL thinks

I've been thinking of making my own. A good clean copy of the album cover, scan it into Photoshop, use Genuine Fractals to make it huge, and output at one of the good print shops around here.
