I love the first two albums. Emotive has Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of war drums which I love. Goes well with one of the best Evangelion AMVs.
I don't care much for Tool, but Perfect Circle. Yes please.

Literally can compose a greatest hits using only this album if you ask me.
Almost. Don't Look Back is pretty good (from the 2nd album) and Cool the Engines from the 3rd (which took like 10 years to make). But yeah, add those two songs to the first album and maybe Amanda from the 3rd, and you have their greatest hits.

My favorite album of the 2000's... and I pretty much avoid the rest of their catalog.
This record is meant to be played start to finish. The songs by themselves don't really stand out, but as a record? It's fucking awesome. It's got a one of a kind sound, too. Even Cursive couldn't replicate it, lol.

do you at least like Album of the Year?
I like to pretend their s/t doesn't exist.

Interpol
(First albums)
=====================
Agree this was their best album... But my listening experience is ruined by the Pitchfork review that pointed out that all their song hooks has the singer dragging out a single syllableeeeeeeeeeee.

This album was fucking fantastic when it came out. Then, all their other albums were boring shite. Such a shame.

Me too.
When it comes down to it, APC was just a bunch of stuff that Billy Howerdel had ready to go with guitar stuff he'd been working on since his teens. Maynard was his housemate at the time, liked what he heard and threw some vocals on top of what he had - but they signed a 3 record deal. Thirteenth Step (which I liked) was just sort of thrown together, and Emotive was just to fulfil the contractual obligation.
If they announced new APC, I'd look forward to it but I wouldn't expect it to be of the standards of either Tool or Puscifer. Both of the latter projects seem to fit and adapt better to Maynard and hold my interest longer.

I'm sorry. I'm not quite sure to what you are referring.

Haven't listened to any other Queensryche albums, but Operation: Mindcrime is a god damn masterpiece so I probably don't need to.

Wow, I came here to post exactly this. Love this album, it's brilliant, touching, transcendental. But every other Cursive album is the complete antithesis of this: whiny, grating and boring.

it's their best album if you don't count EPs
Practically the best album ever in my eyes.
I'd agree it's their best album but they've got other good records too.
Not sure I agree with this, Antics is fine.
Is This It by The Strokes. One of the all time greats imo.
Their other albums range from decent to mediocre. Makes me sad
Room on Fire is a fantastic record.
Unlistenable? I've always loved Antics. I just recently started listening to Our Love to Admire, which I dismissed upon first listen when it came out. It's awesome. Their self-titled album sucks, though.
Counting bodies... and Passive are the only tracks on that album I cared for, but I would like to hear something new from them. Really liked the first two albums.

I can agree with this. Great album, while the second one was only maybe half good. Their third album was nearly unlistenable, save maybe 1 or 2 songs.

Pulp - different class
Since I seem to be standing up for sophomore releases in this thread, I'll defend You Could Have It So Much Better. Just as good as the first, if not better. The third album sucks.

Antics is still a very very good album, just seems bad in comparison to their debut which is god damn amazing.
Interpol got a lot of shit back in the day for "sounds like Joy Division LOL" (which they never did), but I have to admit Turn on the Bright Lights is like a top 10 for me.

Didn't like Homework or any of their other albums.
Yeah. Lateralus has been on my regular rotation for a few years straight now. Incredible album.
To the OP, Natalie Merchant's Tiger Lilly is an amazing album. But I couldn't get into any of her other solo work. (I'm excluding the amazing 10,000 Maniacs albums, just looking at her solo stuff.)

Everything else the band did is embarrassing. But this album is legit great.

My heart hurts more at this that the NOFX mention. Suicide Machines self titled above everything else? You need to listen to their first two (especially Destruction by Definition if hardcore isn't your thing) again my friend
