airtaco Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 For a guy with such an abundance of albums, it's surprising how similar these lists are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Among the 4 lists, 9 of the 15 GBV albums have been named. That's not bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brianjeremy Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I will say the new one, Superman, I found very underwhelming. Agreed. Todd's production, instrumentation, etc is getting real old. It's been collecting dust on the shelve along with Coast to Coast and Standard Gargoyle Decisions. I couldn't get into those either. I'm joining the chorus of fans begging him for something different. I am so burnt out on his stuff that I really haven't bought much in the last year. I didn't get the circus devils album or the psycho and the birds one and who knows what else. I didn't pick up crickets because I have most of that stuff anyways.

MrRain422 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Do the Collapse may be underrated, but it's also not that great. Doesn't even come anywhere near their top 5, IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MrRain422 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 "Teenage FBI" and "Things I Will Keep" are the only two I really like from that album, and a couple songs like "Hold On Hope" really bug me. I do like Earthquake Glue a lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
