I got into The The between the time of Infected and Mind Bomb, but by 1993 had moved on and never really appreciated Dusk in its own time. It's really only over the last five years that I've gone back to investigate it and fall madly in love with its charms. Polling albums as good as this one is why we have the poll feature, right?

Ha!

anyway, probably Slow Emotion or Love Is Stronger, but I need to dig out London Town and think about it

In Praise of.....Mind Bomb by The The

Really? "Mind Bomb" just has a sheen to it, or something... it's by no means a bad album it just feels off by Matt's standards.

either Dogs Of Lust or Lonely Planet...go with the former

wow Helpline Operator is better than I remembered

― longer lasting, thicker electrons (sic), Sunday, 25 April 2010 07:54 (fifteen years ago)

yeah, Love Is Stronger Than Death. HERE COME THE BLUE SKIES

I've always thought this might be Marr's best album.

Marr's best album

Marr's best album EVER or just with Matt Johnson?

― Alex in NYC, Sunday, 25 April 2010 12:20 (fifteen years ago)

The harmonica hook on "Dogs of Lust" is one of the best of Marr's career, though.

― Throwing Muses are reuniting for my next orgasm! (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 25 April 2010 12:42 (fifteen years ago)

No, ever. Smiths are way stronger as a singles band for me, the first Electronic album is no Getting Away With It, and the '00s are mostly sad.

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