A bit suspect, what a crock! IMNSHO--OR has 2 awful songs by bunnymen standards (Nocturnal Me and Yo Yo Man) . That's 22% of the CD. There's absolutely no way this could be their best work given that: HUH and Porcupine and the 1st Lp are all better complete pieces of work than OR. Even though OR contains some absolutely magnificent moments and I do love 78 % of it. Both crappy songs were on side 1 of the old LP format by the way!! Mike H ps-Just traded in Mogwai's My Father My King CD. Hopefully their new one will be an improvement!! And I hope Radiohead's new CD is better than the last 2. Maybe they found their Guitars!! > > > I think liking any of the Bunnymen albums more than OR is a bit > >suspect.... > > Suspect of WHAT???? > That's an absurd statement! > Ocean Rain is a great album....but I like HUH better. > What am I suspect of? I don't geddit! > > > Red > side 2 of Ocean Rain is the best side of any record ever but both HUH & Porcupine hit me harder & deeper as complete works......probably just cuz i cant always listen to Thorn of Crowns everytime through...... but really...its a difference of such small magnitude amidst such beauty & perfection ...really impossible to measure or explain...I seem to like of my cats a little more than the others too...i guess its kinda like that. - - -Ted ====================================== The Official Seven-Seas Web Page. www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2003 11:33:31 +0100 From: "Steve Hodson" Subject: seven-seas-moderated RE: seven-seas Back on Sevenseas and Ian'snew album > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-seven-seas@smoe.org [mailto:owner-seven-seas@smoe.org]On > Behalf Of Red > Sent: 25 April 2003 11:38 > To: seven-seas@smoe.org > Subject: RE: seven-seas Back on Sevenseas and Ian'snew album > > > At 10:23 AM 4/25/03 +0100, you wrote: > > >By the way ,Red did you ever get a copy of 'V & P'? > >If not give me a shout. > > Not on cd!!
