Last Train to Satanspoll

One of my all-time favorite albums. Duel has to win it for me because it is such a perfectly beautiful and rockin' song. I love how the guitars get louder and heavier on each successive part of the song to an extent that still seems almost impossible until they finally break like crashing waves in the chorus.

However, this really could be a tie between pretty much every song on here. I don't think there really is a dud in the bunch and there are soooo many classics to savor.

"Never Lose That Feeling," easy.

One of my favorites.

NLTF is one of the few RAWK songs w/ a sax solo that doesn't make me want to ram shards of glass into my ears.

where is the love ILM? If it is the ham-fisted puns, plz do not let my boorish sense of humor preclude your discussion of this AWESOME RECORD.

i have missed this thread up until now, had no idea this was a Swervedriver thread.

i will dig this out before casting my vote but right now im leaning towards "Never Lose That Feeling."

also have tour stories that i will tell when i have more time.

Hopefully more ppl are voting than posting here, but I expect "Duel" will take this easily & it probably deserves to. This is a particularly hard choice for me, tho, b/c my "favorite track" has varied so widely over the years. At various points, it has been Duel, Harry & Maggie, Girl on a Motorbike, Duress & NLTF. I'll vote for GOAM here b/c I always felt that song was underappreciated (& I always wanted them to play it live, which I can't remember them doing at the shows I saw).

It's also worth mentioning that their live shows from this period were some of the best shows I've ever seen.

voted for "a change", love that riff. actually "for seeking heat" is my favorite here. i dunno.
fuck voting for bonus tracks, the last song on this album is "you find it everywhere

should do a "harry and maggie", "wrong treats", "93 million miles" poll.. there's a 4th one too, right?

this is one tuff choice.

duel just makes my head go all woozy (those off side noises on the LHS), then there is the opening dirty groove of last train .. , the riffs, the swirling beautynoise.

such a great album - as was ejector seat ..

one question, did the remasters make that much of a difference as i have the original creation era cds and have a natural aversion to all things in a fucking digipack.

fuck voting for bonus tracks - I was conflicted about whether to include it, but it was listed as a bona fide album track on the US version & it does fit so nicely w/ the flow of the album imo.

fair enough; it does make an excellent closing track.. sorry for the harshness

if i like catherine wheel will i like this

u will like this

gd

If you like the idea of Catherine Wheel and Dinosaur Jr having a red-headed stepchild, you will like this.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

im not able to tell you guys some stories but i was able to listen to most of the album. i'm going to vote for "Last Train to Satansville," so so good.
