does MIA count or was Kala better than Arular?

Oh damn I had a great example of this today that I can't remember

xp re Magazine I think I like The Correct Use of Soap more than Secondhand Daylight but it's close

Stevie: Arular beats Kala, but then Matangi beats MAYA!
― maffew12, Monday, 17 December 2018 12:32 (five years ago) link
strongly disagree with the inclusion of M.I.A. I still think MAYA is her best album and Kala and Matangi are also both better than Arular.

a friend suggested Laurie Anderson - thoughts? I’ve only heard the first two records so I can’t speak

Secondhand Daylight is the one Magazine record that I would rescue from the fire/take to the desert island etc.
I also think Second Toughest... is Underworld's best album.

It is. Also, Beaucoup Fish is better dubno.

Strange Angels is her best.

Oblivion With Bells is also much better than A Hundred Days off and I'd wager Barbara Barbara is a better album than Barking
― frogbs, Monday, 17 December 2018 23:21 (five years ago) link
I'd put Underworld Dubo thru Fish, this list. Hundred Days thru Barbara, the incline list. Crazy body of work!

Rocket From The Crypt
Mudhoney?

Ride is a good example imo
― nostormo, Monday, 3 December 2018 20:55 (two weeks ago)
Are you including last year’s comeback album in that?
― the salacious inaudible (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Tuesday, 18 December 2018 17:14 (five years ago) link
The newish Ride album has one peak era tune on it and a couple of other 3rd album quality tunes and then loads of nonsense iirc
My answer which I believe to be true (and not to everyone's taste maybe) is Mercury Rev.

If Suede hadn’t reformed, they would have worked (I’m not fond of their 3 latest albums but at least one is better than their 5th... and apparently many people consider them great).
― AlXTC from Paris, Wednesday, 19 December 2018 04:43 (five years ago) link
Strongly co-signing on Mercury Rev.

Oh it's decline right..sorry Quite the opposite for Beat Happening.
― nostormo, Monday, 14 January 2019 07:14 (five years ago) link
I still have time for Revolution Come and Gone more than anything else in their back catalog so yeah, quite the opposite

I like Animals more than WYWH or DSotM. And even though I love Syd, I think Echoes is my favorite.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Monday, 14 January 2019 20:47 (five years ago) link
Pink Floyd only works if you start counting at Meddle for me. And then yes.
― akm, Monday, 14 January 2019 20:59 (five years ago) link
And when I wrote Echoes, I obv meant including the other half of Meddle haha.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Monday, 14 January 2019 21:24 (five years ago) link
This is more or less true for most bands. Only a few reach a peak at the end. Immediately springing to mind: Talk Talk.
