lost highway Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 It's tough to argue against your choices, but I'm going to go out on a limb by putting KT somewhere towards the middle of the ranking. I hope I'm not flamed for that, what with me being foreign and all and therefore perhaps with a different musical heritage and take on things. Should we call it 5.5 in the sequence?

Beltmann Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Well, the new album is finally here. After a dozen spins, I feel confident in ranking Ode to Joy at the very bottom of my list. As a long-time Wilco fan, I'm not happy or sad about this. It is what it is. Given the band's recent trajectory, though, I feel safe in saying that the only thing that could possibly bump the new album from the bottom is the next album (barring some kind of space-time continuum miracle).

Albert Tatlock Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 There is so much tommyrot being written on these pages that I feel like quitting the board, lurking to read all the posts regretting my departure, then joining again on a wave of endorphins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You are obviously a practiced member of the board! Many have used this same strategy to some advantage. (The endorphins are always nice.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

theashtraysays Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I especially love the feature in our “new” board that says “2 years later…” like it’s some cheap movie or tv show. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I need to log off, have a cup of tea and calm down. Then I will come back and ask the admins to get you banned. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doug C Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 The ashtray says’ ranking is spot on. Anyone disagreeing with Beltmann’s intelligent, though simply logical, assessment of Cruel Country, is either a troll or an idiot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Feel the latest album suffers from the lack of an acronym. In this Tik-Tok age that just doesn't cut it for me, so it has to be judged on that basis. AM BT ST YHF AGIB SBS WTA TWL SW WS OTJ CC C 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theashtraysays Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 It does seem ironical that WTA is now exactly mid-pack. Are we that old? Apparently yes. As for these one-word album titles... well, imagine this thread for Peter Gabriel.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
