Unwound: a New Plastic Ideas poll would be awesome

All Souls Day

this may be my favorite Unwound record--hard to say

I can't choose. I can only choose the few lesser ones. so many vital choices.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Went with All Souls Day, although Hex and Usual Dosage would get equal billing

if they had put Mkultra and Totality as bonus tracks, it would been a fite between those two with Mkultra winning

i have two other unwound albums and i like them but never listen to them. should i buy this one y/n

this is the best of the 90s ones i think so sure

I thought this was such a horrible sophomore slump when it came out. Now I enjoy it with all the rest.

Abstraktions is pretty tough to beat here.

I wouldn't have used the word horrible, but I was initially bummed too. I think the reason why was there was no "Valentine/Kantina/Was Is Were Are Etc" type thing on it. That trifecta is unfukwitable. But yeah, when Unwound started proving they could put out good albums every year on the dot, my opinion changed.

By the time the "next" Unwound album came out, I was finally getting the previous one. That ended after Repetition when they toured the world, and the pattern stopped. anyway, Unwound are one of the best 90s artists hands down. I never expected them to have such a long career, but I never expected them to be kinda slept on today either.

So.. Future of What poll next?

Yeah what other band made that many great records in a row? Seriously?

Even Fake Train was a mild disappointment to me (though I listened to it incessantly from the day it was released). Those songs had so much more life and bite on stage. Steve Fisk really knows how to take the balls out of a recording.

a Repetition poll would be awesome...

Future of What was always my fave album.

I definitely prefer it to the (really, really good) Repetition

an Unwound album poll would be awesome

i think there was one

but along with the husker du poll i did it cant be found via search. But both do exist.

Future of What is a good choice for best Unwound album.
Fake Train is the early classic.
Leaves Turn Inside You is the sleeper.
Repetition has the best single.

I think the fourth time I saw them was the week Fake Train came out. They were opening for Drive Like Jehu.

totally agree with all of that.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

most evenly distrubited results for an album poll on ilm ever?

distributed, even

happy 30th
