lmao whoops, see y'all in 3 months instead of 4 days

joshywinty (josh), Friday, 10 November 2017 00:57 (eight years ago)

The first two songs rank among the best one-two punches I've heard in modern music.

"you know me better"

brimstead, Friday, 10 November 2017 01:26 (eight years ago)

title track, too classic - dear miami a close second

Week of Wonders (Ross), Friday, 10 November 2017 01:50 (eight years ago)

^^^ but this whole record is astoundingly good

adam, Friday, 10 November 2017 13:16 (eight years ago)

Footprints for sure.

nashwan, Friday, 10 November 2017 13:57 (eight years ago)

The live videos where they do a busking performance of select tracks from this album are priceless.

Week of Wonders (Ross), Friday, 10 November 2017 14:49 (eight years ago)

“Let Me Know”

michaellambert, Friday, 10 November 2017 15:38 (eight years ago)

between the title track, "Let Me Know" and "Cry Baby"

sick, fucking funny, and well tasty (katherine), Friday, 10 November 2017 16:17 (eight years ago)

i voted "let me know". great album

monotony, Saturday, 11 November 2017 10:06 (eight years ago)

Let Me Know is the standout

ufo, Saturday, 11 November 2017 11:48 (eight years ago)

Movie Star or Let Me Know but what a great album and I wish she was interested in doing stuff like this still

boxedjoy, Saturday, 11 November 2017 19:53 (eight years ago)

"movie star" would be my #2, probably. goosebump inducing

brimstead, Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:20 (eight years ago)

it is absolutely fabulous and i am sick and tired of people sleeping on it!!

i've always avoided this band bc their name makes them sound like a company that makes pencil erasers but i'll check it out!

sleepingbag, Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:52 (eight years ago)

oh lol it's a person. well point stands

sleepingbag, Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:56 (eight years ago)

I would buy Róisín Murphy pencil erasers tbqh

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Saturday, 11 November 2017 21:23 (eight years ago)

i liked the last murphy record but never think to check her other stuff out. maybe it's time

imago, Saturday, 11 November 2017 22:08 (eight years ago)

This album is her career peak, imo, including her Moloko years.

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Saturday, 11 November 2017 22:16 (eight years ago)

i prefer statues and ruby blue, but only slightly

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Saturday, 11 November 2017 22:24 (eight years ago)

I'm blasting "Movie Star" at the moment.

morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 11 November 2017 22:32 (eight years ago)

dear miami is really good

johnny crunch, Saturday, 11 November 2017 22:41 (eight years ago)

Mi Senti is pretty underrated

Week of Wonders (Ross), Saturday, 11 November 2017 22:43 (eight years ago)

mi senti absolutely rules

brimstead, Sunday, 12 November 2017 00:22 (eight years ago)

You'll be director
And I'll be a movie star

dorsalstop, Thursday, 16 November 2017 20:28 (eight years ago)

For years I would have gone with the title track, but recently I've been drawn to Tell Everybody. The chorus is one of her best vocal performances and I really love those stabs of strings in the second verse. It's very early Eurythmics. Primitive is also a contender. I could pick almost anything here as this album truly is perfect.

Statues is my second favourite Murphy related record. It was ridiculously ignored when it came out.

kitchen person, Friday, 17 November 2017 05:15 (eight years ago)

kitchen, i'm a big fan of that closing vocal on "Tell Everybody" - "I almost remember your face, but it's fading, it's fading fast" and how the vocals are chopped-up on the outro

Week of Wonders (Ross), Friday, 17 November 2017 05:19 (eight years ago)

Statues is my favourite, followed by Hairless Toys

ufo, Friday, 17 November 2017 05:58 (eight years ago)

two months pass...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

STRICTLY ROLLING V.I.P.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

System, Sunday, 11 February 2018 00:01 (eight years ago)

thread reminded me how good the B-sides to this are

algorithm is a dancer (katherine), Sunday, 11 February 2018 02:09 (eight years ago)

Not surprised YKMB won, but impressed with Primitive's strong showing!

Johnny Fever, Sunday, 11 February 2018 03:32 (eight years ago)

i totally forgot which one I voted for lmao. i think it was "Let Me Know"? but "You Know Me Better" def would've been my second choice.
