Underrated Albums from great bands?

[Fenster]

Miles, you sound like Patrick Bateman

Hahahaha!

Thats quite scary actually.

hmm.. I guess it could be

I thought it once before reading you talking about albums.

Substitute the bands you are talking about for "Whitney Houston" or "Huey Lewis and News", it's a chapter straight out of "American Psycho"

Ive only seen the film, not read the book. Thats a bit unnerving, I had never considered the likeness before. The good thing is that I really dislike Huey Lewis and the News and Whitney Houston.

Right, I guess its about the time I should wander out and murder a few locals with an axe or a various array of household appliances.

Why not..

If you're lucky, like Bateman, no-one will even notice.. or will you have even committed the murders

I started a thread on this site about Jack the Ripper maybe a month ago. It could have been a cry for help.

Anyway, back to underrated albums....I really like REM's "Up" which isnt a great album but it has some very good songs on it. Or "Murder Ballads" by Nick Cave....nah, scrap that one.

Can The Bends be classed as underrated? It always ranks highly is those silly "most influential albums" and "greatest of all time" lists.

Anyway.. i love it. Reminds me of a certain period that seems great now. I was a Radiohead fan from Pablo Honey days.. saw them live loads back then. Amnesiac is one of my favs too.

I assume it's more popular in the UK then it is over here. It was moderately successful in comparison to their later stuff, but it carries no where near the weight or influence of OK Computer over here. I happen to think it is a superior album.

Yeah that's probably right.

In Britain there seemed to be a million Radiohead/Thom Yorke clones.. like there were worldwide a million Nirvana/Cobains, Pearl Jam/Vedders etc...

If you wrote entire chapters about The Clash THEN I'd worry....as it is you sound MILDLY like Patrick Bateman....just don't go smothering a chick's vagina with brie and sticking a starved rat into her.....(read the book, it's a little more edgy than the movie as you may have figured).



Fore! - Huey Lewis and The News
Innocent Man - Billy Joel

I shall indeed try to restrain myself from carrying out that lurid act. Ive never read the book before, so I might try and get a copy next time im up in Seoul. Nothing can shock me so Im ready for any graphic depictions of murder and mutilation.

I have to interject with rap, sorry.

Little Brother - The Minstrel Show

Well reviewed and all but never regarded as a classic, I think is one of the greatest rap albums of all time. Not one great song especially at first listen but when you listen to the overall theme of the album and then disect it line by line it's great. Great commentary, good mix of punchiles (if you ego trip you just lose your luggage) and since 9th Wonder left the group they haven't been the same, the beats are fucking awesome. Since then they have just turned into music industry critics essentially. There isn't one track I could post that would blow anyone away but it comes together as something great when you get the jist of the group. College educated rappers without the stupidity of most every other rapper out there. Not that they are really backpack coffeehouse guys but you aren't going to find them talking about ridiculous shit that no one actually does. This album sold 30 thousand after being one of the most hyped albums of the year. Very sad. BET actually rejected their single from this because they felt it talked down on black people just because it made fun of the image that is projected out there. I'm to grown up to get mad about it now, haha, but it is fairly sad.

Listen to this.

It's a pretty good book one of the few fictional books I have read lately. It does have some parts where you are thinking "What in the hell does this have to do with anything?" the previously mentioned brie cheese incident is a pretty good example of that.
