I'm curious what people prefer across the board.

i'm not sure i really believe my own vote, but what are you gonna do?

I'm gonna vote "Things We Lost in the Fire", with "Secret Name" following.

Great Destroyer just gets it over Things We Lost...

The Curtain Hits the Cast because of "Do You Know How to Waltz?"

Things We Lost... would be second.

for me its:
The Great Destroyer

When does the new one come out?

March 20 (?)

Sweet thanks

1. Things We Lost in the Fire
2. The Curtain Hits the Cast
3. Long Division
4. Secret Name
5. The Great Destroyer

not a huge fan at all, but i'll go with the great destroyer.

new one is not clicking with me at all...but i'ma keep trying.

. . . I'm withholding passing judgment, well vocally offering judgment until it's officially out . . .

Neither Trust nor The Great Destroyer clicked with me once they started toying with their sound. I'm not sure how much I'm going to like the next one, seeing as how Fridmann is producing it as well. Low used to be one of my absolute favorites.

Fridmann has done great things for other bands, but Low should go back to Steve Albini.

Definitely agree on that

Amen. Friddman's terrible for them. But I also think he's just generally shit (not knowingly aware of much of his other work). He does things that I think are virtually inexcusable, like hard vocal panning and overzealous use of reverse.

I voted Curtain 'cause it's more consistent than Secret Name or Trust, but my favorite songs are on the latter two--"I Remember" and "The Lamb." I'm all about the distant, hissy atmosphere.

I suspect everyone's favorite Low album is their first Low album.

...or the Low album they think is best.

I'm not prepared to make that leap.

I agree with GD being a grower. When it came out I snatched up a copy quick, but listened to it maybe 5 times before I gave up. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and I'm digging it. Perhaps its because I cannot find Alan's solo record in stores, and I'm too lazy to order it, so I'm looking for a replacement.

Not a bad theory. Certainly the case for me.

Me, too.

nope.

For me it's Things We lost In the Fire. Dinosaur Act got heavy air play in the twin cities back when this came out. My first Low album was Long Division.
