  1. Yeah I mean...Rereleases at least in my opinion, should come on a nice rounded off year. 10,15,20 or 25th anniversary. YHF is 7 years old; that'd be kind of random.
  2. So would the Blu Ray IATTBYH. We saw what happened to that.
  3. If Reprise wanted to do that with the 3 albums they have the rights to, could Wilco stop them?
  4. I really can't wait for this. Does it make me a bad person that other than Wilco and Radiohead, Dylan output has been my favorite of the past 15 years? That may sound like me being lazy and fanboyish because he's Bob Dylan, but really...every album he's released since Time Out of Mind has been so good.
  5. There's a couple of songs on the boxed set that suggest that direction, but they're kind of embryonic. Kurt had expressed an interest in making an album like Automatic For the People. Basically, I think MTV Unplugged was a dry run for what he wanted to do on the next album, just with a new batch of songs. They played some good shows in Chicago, among them, the only live performance of "You Know You're Right" ever.
  6. Which one? The one Kim Gordon wrote, the one Kurt wrote, or the one Billy Corgan wrote. Kidding...Kidding...
  7. Had to take the Nirvana dig didn't you. I dunno...I'm 50/50 on comps vs. bonus discs. I feel like bonus discs give the extra material context than say putting random things from completely different eras doesn't provide. There's also a 3rd option which is the rarities album. They were pretty popular in the 90s, since there was no internet to distribute b-sides, but now I don't know what would really be the point. Also unlike say, The Smashing Pumpkins Pisces Iscariot, where all of the songs came from the sessions of 2 stylistically similar albums, produced by the same producer, using mos
  8. I'd be more interested in Reprise era reissues, given that at least according to the Kot Book, they had 30 songs total for Being There, and some left over from Summerteeth.
  9. Pixar's name is really a promise of quality. Every movie they've put out has been excellent. Wall-E is possibly my favorite movie of all-time, much to the chagrin of my girlfriend.
  10. I'm feeling listy and gradey so... I'll do both 01. Automatic For the People (A+) 02. Murmur (A+) 03. Reckoning (A) 04. Life's Rich Pageant (A) 05. Document (A) 06. New Adventures in Hi-Fi (A-) 07. Fables of Reconstruction (A-) 08. Green (B+) 09. Out of Time (B ) 10. Accelerate (B ) 11. Up (C+) 12. Monster (C+) 13. Reveal (C ) 14. Around the Sun (C-)
  11. Right now: 01. Don't Go Back to Rockville 02. Fall on Me 03. Man on the Moon 04. Perfect Circle 05. Laughing 06. Shaking Through 07. I Believe 08. King of Birds 09. Bittersweet Me 10. Wendel Gee
  12. I don't believe in legacy as being gauged by "your average album's worth". I believe in legacy as being gauged by the number of great songs and great albums you bring to the table. For example, the Stones have a number of horrifically bad albums, but they still have 9-10 I'd call 4-5 star classics. So, even SBS, which I disliked more than most people on this board, to me wasn't a "Legacy tarnisher". It may not have added much to their legacy, but at the very least it added 2-3 great songs to Wilco's repetoire, including "Impossible Germany" which is something of a fav of mine. Even if
  13. Classic. Of course later today, someone's going to claim they have a copy of the new album...and april fools! it won't be true.
  14. The Grateful Dead intimidate me...there's just so much material so little time o.o.
  15. Throat Polyps from screaming. Needed surgery towards the end. This was recorded two weeks before he died. I've come to accept that people on here don't respect Nirvana very much...but that "not very tuneful" thing was grossly inaccurate.
  16. This was recorded after that one and is quite melodic.
  17. Well he was obsessed with Automatic For the People, so the next album was supposed to sound like that one. Of course a splitting headache put those plans on hold. I'm sorry, that was tasteless.
  18. Steve Albini was never convinced of Nirvana's noiseiness, once saying they were "R.E.M. with a fuzzbox".
  19. While they're certainly not The Kinks, I'd say there's a respectable level of tunefulness in Nirvana's best songs; I would hardly call "About a Girl" a tuneless song for example.
  20. So who wants to you join me in an incantation so the album will magically appear on the internet tomorrow?
  21. Really? Tuneful? I don't see them as that melodically strong quite frankly. "Tyler" sounds nothing like Pearl Jam. It sounds like The Pixies I suppose. Really none of those songs like any of the bands you compared them to. I suppose the Nirvana thing was a bit of a rash statement but I'm not entirely sure the Toadies deserve a much closer look. (Sorry, I used to really hate the Toadies on the radio when I was a kid.)
