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"

You Know Me Better

^^^ 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.
