I'm not really a YYYs fan but this is a good album. Voted for 'Cheated Hearts'.

This is the one I listen to the least out of their first three albums, but it's leagues above the last thing they shat out. I'm actually unsure what to vote for.

I'm actually shocked at how much I enjoyed this. I have always thought it was the weakest record of the initial three but now I'm not so sure. Voting Phenomena as the singles don't seem to need any help.

the weakest of the first three is fever, which is an awesome record

This album is great and it's hard to get past "Turn Into" so that.

I've been listening steadily since the poll started. Good show.

I love watching the Cheated Hearts video.

Karen O is such a massive performer.
Cheated Hearts is one of their finest moments

I like the simple pleasures of Honeybear.

Big fan of this excellent record and it's "Turn Into" for me.

god the cover of their last album is one of the most grotesque things ever

boy, the sequence from "Phenomena" to "Mysteries" is a pip, isn't it?

Not sure how I got it in my head that this album was disappointing. I think maybe because I’ve never loved Gold Lion, but the rest of it is fairly scorching.

Mysteries, for that freakout at the end
― Neus Anneus (voodoo chili), Sunday, 17 March 2019 18:40 (five years ago) link
ok so
1. i think this is their best record2. i'm voting for "the sweets"
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Sunday, 17 March 2019 23:25 (five years ago) link
this sounded better than it's blitz to me the last time i listened but it's been a little bit... "turn into" is such a massive song but i think i prefer "dudley" and "way out". the texture of the non-electric guitar instruments on this record is rly great
im voting for "gold lion" tho for having the best mic-ing of a drumset of its time

I'm surprised Greil Marcus didn't expend a thousand words explaining how "Sometimes I think I'm bigger than the sound" links Karen O to the lineage of Elvis, Dylan, Robbie Robertson, etc.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I'm going to have to agree with Brad here. After listening to this album about seven times in a row, because of this poll, this is their best album.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
― System, Tuesday, 19 March 2019 00:01 (five years ago) link
ok wow -- didn't expect this

This seems about right? Although I never liked Gold Lion, it always gave me Karate Kid montage vibes.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 19 March 2019 00:07 (five years ago) link
looks about right
"Way Out" deserved "Gold Lion"'s votes
― Simon H., Tuesday, 19 March 2019 00:08 (five years ago) link
and "warrior" deserved something it is a very cool song
