Ranking of uw albums

[joethelion]

hhhmmm - this is actually quite hard, b/c it's all really up to my mood
plus, there's factors like ->
I REALLY like STITI (and I'd probably go the most 'crazy' hearing those songs live, as opposed to other tracks) buutttttttt..... I find that album annoyingly quiet, plus well - the live version of almost every track on that album sounds umpteen times better than the studio album. But - those live versions wouldn't exist if it wasn't for their studio counterparts... so hmmm...


1) Beaucoup Fish
2) Dubnobasswithmyheadman (Japanese re-release) just so you get that bonus track... and if I'm not mistaken, it's a bit louder than the original pressing
3) STITI
4) Pearls Girl EP (the 60 minute US one)
5) A Hundred Days Off
6) RiverRun EP's (I'm counting the three as one "thing" as it seemed to be one 'whole project')
7) Barking (I'm counting the bonus disc as a part of the whole package)
8) Oblivion with Bells
9) Dark & Long EP (the one with Mos 'Ospitable)
10) Dark & Long EP (the one with Thing in a Book)
11) Born Slippy EP


if we count live albums... then "Everything Everything" would definitely be last on my list, and the x3cd Tokyo one would probably be either just before or just after STITI

what's funny is that a couple of years ago - I would've put AHDO last, but it actually has aged well... while OWB has kind of lost its appeal, I just find that I prefer pretty much ANY live show from that tour over the album. "Glam Bucket" is a great song and all - but it sounds lifeless compared to how it is live, when you can actually hear Karl's guitar
