Seems an appropriate time to rate this solid discography.
Usual rules of one 11 and one -1 (not expecting to see any of these though..) allowed per album blah blah.
Have just included the albums plus the Robert Smith version of 'Not in Love' – any more people want to add?

This might force me to listen to III

Posted by: ϑЃεβϘ 10th October 2014, 08:33 PM

I have to listen to I more. Never got into it at the time although listened to II this afternoon and still sounds great.

Posted by: Cremey 10th October 2014, 09:16 PM

Yes Tony, you definitely need to listen to III if you haven't yet! It's actually my favourite of the three, although there's not much to separate them as they're all great. I'd say it's III>I>II for me but that seems so wrong as I love II!

Posted by: Conderella 10th October 2014, 09:29 PM

I think I'll give all of the albums a listen before I rate because a few songs are not as fresh in my memory as the others.

Posted by: Conderella 13th October 2014, 08:14 AM

Relistening to the entire discography in one sit made me feel so stupidly emotional that Ethan + Alice are no more and we probably won't get anything as perfect as this from either of them separately. sad.gif

i'd rather listen to Cheryl's discography than decide on whether I prefer I to II or the other way round.

Posted by: Heezus Froot 13th October 2014, 12:15 PM

I think you should go for the one that you heard first, then. Extra points for nostalgia tongue.gif. I love I and II equally, but it was II that got me into CC wub.gif

What's the deadline for this? Should I hurry up? tongue.gif

Considering only two rates have been posted over the span of like 10 days, I think you're safe for at least a couple of weeks.

Posted by: uraqt 22nd October 2014, 02:22 PM

haha yeah I'll leave it going for a while, I need to do mine too. Aiming to get 10 or so rates at least?!
Hopefully people haven't done theirs yet because they're too busy reminding themselves of the albums..

Posted by: 152chris 22nd October 2014, 02:28 PM

exactement crémé.

will probs vote tonight actually. can I put two 11s in one album and none in another? there's on that has BOTH of their huge standouts and I wanna acknowledge them sad.gif (guess which one yall)

Posted by: uraqt 22nd October 2014, 02:44 PM

hmm tricky. I'm tempted to say just one for each but no one likes a bore, so go for ittt.
Ha as for the album, III is my favourite but I can imagine you being more of a II kinda guy?

Posted by: Conderella 22nd October 2014, 02:52 PM

I'd give Doe Deer and Plague my 11 as well if I could. But the three that got it in the end have a special place in my heart so there was no other way really.

It was so tough to rate thooooo. sad.gif

Still playing III occasionally. That first 7 tracks is just a PERFECT little sub-album. You don't even need to make a separate playlist for songs you want to listen to i'm so lazy

i could quite literally write an essay about how perfect (III) is as an album; the message, the songs, the ARTWORK it's just kind of a masterclass in pulling off a concept album without having to force it on people. one of my all time bests.

the two career highlight songs tho are defo celestica and not in love robert version. would have liked to give both 11 but it doesn't look like anyone else is doing that so i won't be that guy.

The tracks I've rated 4/10 aren't ACTUALLY 4/10 tracks (their discography is so consistently great!) but doing so favours my faves, mathematically. That sentence makes no sense but I hope you've deduced some sort of meaning if you're still reading this far~

'Tell Me What To Swallow' is a PERFECT change of pace following the chaos of the rest of the album. I love it when an album finishes like that.

III is a bit of a let down, but still a great body of work.

Fainting Spells - Doe Deer - I Am Made of Chalk is the biggest WTF of their discography.

They Are Crap, Ya Ya Ya

I seriously hate those three with passion. One of the few times I've ever deleted a track from an album in my iTunes (I usually let them be). I don't even want to see them.

I checked some songs, but don't understand any single word. It's not singing, it's mumbling.

So because you don't like their music, it must be for homosexuals and drug addicts? Good reasoning.

I was hoping for about 10 but 6 is acceptable I guess!
