Isn't it weird, 27% think Intensive Care is Rob's best album and 33% think it's his worst :blink:

 

He still hasn't topped LTAL for me, bt Rudebox would come a close second

 

And Intensive Care would be my least favourite rather than worst .....I still liked it enough to by 4 copies though

Best Album - Life Thru A Lens, as it's raw and a classic [no fillers!] :)

 

Worst Album - Escapology, as I find it "music wise" overproduced and polished :(

I Love IC...sounds better ( if that is possible ) every time you play it...

 

Not too keen on..Iv'e been expecting you...I do like some tracks on it though.....

Are you serious? :o I've Been Expecting You is Rob's second best album ever (after Life Thru A Lens) in my opinion. It is just beyond amazing, and one of the best pop/rock albums of the 90's. How many times have you heard it in full because when I originally got in (nearly 10 years ago now :o) I was dissapointed, but then it grew on me, and it actually was my fave Rob album for years. Their are only two average songs on it for me, These Dreams and Grace, but those two are still good songs. I would even go as far as to say that not a single song on IC comes even remotly close to the vast majority of the songs on IBEY. IC is a very solid album, but very few tracks are truely amazing, whilst most songs on IBEY are truely amazing imo.

 

Escapology is and will always be his worst album for me, take Feel, Come Undone, Monsoon and Revolution away, and it is just average and extremly inconsistant, which is something all his other albums simply are not imo. -_-

I've been listening to IC today, still my favourite :wub:

 

 

Best one for me is I've been expecting you....and I voted for Life thru a lens as the worst but just because I had to choose one :(

Ok...Hands up...Looking at it again...it is true what you say...most of the songs on IBEY are good....I do not like Strong/WinSomeLoseSome/Grace/It's Only Us/These Dreams ( I do love the others ).....I do not listen to this album an awful lot....I even like Sing When Your Winning a hell of a lot more.....Fab tracks on this ...Better Man / Rock DJ/If Its Hurting You/Singing for the Lonely/Love Callin Earth/ Knutsford City Limits/Forever Texas/Road to Mandalay/ By all Means Necessary...I love this album......really...really...beautiful.

 

IC in my opinion is sublime...such fab & easy listening...I do not like Sin/Sin/Sin & Advertising Space...after that it's my favourite & I think that Rob has done his voice justice in that album & that you can see why it took two years to make,...the result is fantastic...music brilliant...& Rob's voice sounds the best ever...It seems to be a very popular album & is his best selling to date as far as I know...

 

You know looking at all this album stuff is giving me withdrawal symptoms already & I cannot wait for his next one....next year I hope.....in the meantime we can have may happy listening hours & tutting over his best & worst.

BTW...On the way home from work tonight I was listening to Rudebox.....gets better every time....
