KTM has maybe two memorable songs, Room On Fire is a memorable album from front to back.
Dude. I know you and Gar are huge backers of that Strokes album but TWO memorable songs on KTM?
I can't get on board at all with that.
Both of these are solid albums that I would be fine with playing at any sort of gathering but if I'm just listening in my truckster I'd probably skip 2-3 songs on each album.
I can't even remember how I voted here yesterday. I'm fine with either winning though.
It loses more for the beat box song than any other. Plus this album seemed to me like Ellroy's White Jazz -- where the story was that he turned in a 700 page draft and then got to 350 by cutting out every adjective.
This is the album they decided they could make without rhythm or melody. I know some people love it, and though it was my intro point with Spoon, it was also almost my exit point. I have come to appreciate it, but against a fucking DisasterPiece like Room on Fire it should have no chance.
Of course now it, GAGAGAGA, Gimme Fiction, Girls Can Tell, Interpol, In Rainbows, At Dawn, New Pr0n are your final 8. It's not The Sensitive Silent Majority, It's the STUPID SUPER MAJORITY around here.
