I know Bill Callahan has done other, much better work, but... I had in my car (and I think I still have in my car!) a CD-R of that Smog album, bookended by the EPs he released the year before* and the year after**, which I practically lived in during one particularly bleak period of my life.
*: The Burning Kingdom**: Kicking A Couple Around

It feels like part of the beginning of something that is really important in the world that exists inside my head.
In 1995, I would have voted for Washing Machine/Psychic Hearts.

think we have the 2 polls ready for 96. the bubbling under list that missed out on both is enough for a third poll but we are not doing 3 so dont ask, lol

This is a much weaker list than the first one, it’ll have to be Symbolic but it’s not even in my top 3 Death albums.
