the least of her albums but 'criminal' sounds even more classic now than when it came out
― akm, Thursday, 7 August 2008 19:33 (seventeen years ago)
I listened to it quite a lot when it came out. I remember hearing it a lot in hipster dives and cafes in Austin along the usual MC5 and ATDI and stuff.
Fave track: Sullen Girl
― wanko ergo sum, Thursday, 7 August 2008 19:34 (seventeen years ago)
neither, but her other two albums are classic.
― The Brainwasher, Thursday, 7 August 2008 19:34 (seventeen years ago)
Yeah, Criminal is strong. I taped the video, but a wanko will do that. xp
this whole album is amazing.
the tranquil parts especially. slow like honey, heavy with mood.

good thread thx.

I knew you'd show! =)

adagio breezes fill my skin with sudden red your hungry flirt borders intrusion and i'm building memories on things we have not said

:)
Hey, the lyrics are like Sub-Jewel at points but srsly, is why is that a bad thing... It all works, very affecting.

shadowboxer is definitely a masterpiece
― Surmounter, Thursday, 7 August 2008 19:43 (seventeen years ago)
even tho the masterpiece title surely goes to never is a promise, probably the best teen ballad tearjerker of my time
― Surmounter, Thursday, 7 August 2008 19:44 (seventeen years ago)
Beautiful song! Kind of incoherent, again, lyrically, well at least to me.

But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights The shades and shadows undulate in my perception My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights I understand what I am still too proud to mention - to you
the vox on that are sooo pretty

also sleep to dream is perfection
― Surmounter, Thursday, 7 August 2008 19:49 (seventeen years ago)
agreed. Looking at the track listing, the only song I can't recall is Carrion.
And The First Taste is sexee.
― wanko ergo sum, Thursday, 7 August 2008 19:52 (seventeen years ago)
it is. carrion is actually a highlight for me. that dusty shuffling beat and her cooing.
― Surmounter, Thursday, 7 August 2008 19:53 (seventeen years ago)
hello sophomore year of high school. i think i listened to this album about 3,000 times.
i got my feet on the ground, and i don't go to sleep to dream you got your head in the clouds, you're not at all what you seem.
oh, fiona. classic. everything she's done is classic.

Shadowboxing is so perfect.
― Tape Store, Thursday, 7 August 2008 21:25 (seventeen years ago)
Also Shadowboxer
Severely underrated album. Pale September is simply beautiful in a way that very few songs are.
― Melissa W, Thursday, 7 August 2008 21:46 (seventeen years ago)
YES
― Surmounter, Thursday, 7 August 2008 21:47 (seventeen years ago)
it kind of encapsulates the mood. beautiful.
― Surmounter, Thursday, 7 August 2008 21:50 (seventeen years ago)
"Criminal" always reminds me of John Lennon's self-loathing songs. The melody, the lyrics, the hammering piano. Very classic. Could be covered to interesting effect.

The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
Terrible line in a good song.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 7 August 2008 22:09 (seventeen years ago)
All her albums are classic, thought this one is not quite as megaclassic as the other two.
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 7 August 2008 22:10 (seventeen years ago)
her best album
― i fake it so real, i am beyonce (surm), Tuesday, 1 June 2010 05:13 (fifteen years ago)
perfectly natural, and dark. drunk like the tides of a beach beneath a gray sky.
