Will relisten but my personal favorite is the Shame

I have a bunch of Blood Brothers shirts that I gave to my mom (lol)

Tempted to vote Ambulance vs. Ambulance, on an album that does not fuck around, that one song REALLY does not fuck around.

Ambulance. i reckon it'd probably still get my pulse racing all these yrs later.

i used to own a Blood Brothers hoodie. it was my favourite garment for a while.

Because of this poll I listened to this for the first time in years today, still pretty great.

Haven't listened to this in about 8 years, went with "Ambulance" because it's the one I remember.

voted "The Shame" without hesitation. formative record for me.

Hadn't seen this before, some really neat details so far: http://www.underthegunreview.net/2013/03/04/10-years-later-cody-votolato-discusses-burn-piano-island-burn/

Mostly just stunned to discover that they got signed to BMG based on This Adultery Is Ripe, and that they got BPIB in the can before March On Electric Children! even came out.

to my surprise i voted for "the salesman, denver max"

― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 April 2015 04:10 (ten years ago)

"shame" is the best thing in the world though

Fun fact: "Denver Max" shares an inspiration with "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue"

― fuck me, archipelago (Simon H.), Thursday, 9 April 2015 04:19 (ten years ago)

also, the original leak had the title track as track 2 and "Fucking's Greatest Hits" as track 3 iirc and I still much prefer that.

I wish way more albums opened with tiny actual songs a la "Guitarmy" rather than dull ambient intros.
