This album got stuck in my car CD player in 2002, never to be seen again.
I did burn another copy last year.

This is probably the only Kim Deal-centric album that I'm not overly familiar with. I've heard it, but I definitely don't like it enough to listen to it with any regularity.

Good record. I have never seen that cover. I had a different one. Strange.
I have to go for Off You. Also quite enjoy a bit of Full On Idle. Same song as Amps record.

Amps' version of Full on Idle is waaay better.

"Too Alive." Amazing off-kilter drums. This album separates people who think they like Kim Deal from people who actually like Kim Deal. One of the best recent examples of an album that's too good for the majority of a band's fans.

Too Alive is fantastic. Thank God it's getting a vote.

yea we're movin, yeah we're movin

Almost went with "Forced to Drive", but ended up going with "Off You". Such a great ALBUM that it's hard to single out a best song.

not that hard at all, I think Off You is going to walk this...

God apparently did not like my 'T&T' vote, but now I have no idea what I'm going to vote for instead...

lol

Off You deserves to win--it's an authentically great tearjerker--, and is definitely Deal twins POV but I really will not vote for it...

right now it's between The She, Too Alive, and Forced to Drive--Put on a Side is underrated as well...

I think I voted for Off You on the 2005-2009 tracks poll though

nm it's from 2002, what am I thinking?

what was wrong with the first poll?

there was a typo, and i wanted it to be perfect

i have given u extra time on this poll, use it well

off you was my breakup song of 2002

like, over and over and over and over

but i've probably told u that before

:)

just voted "Too Alive"

woah!

i haven't re voted for Off You yet

do u think i'll do it? or will i too go for something else

the thing about off you -- don't u think -- is that sits on this very precise point between weird and regular in terms of song structure

at once it hearkens back to some sort of classic melody and totally surprises you

the time has nearly come

the thing about off you -- don't u think -- is that sits on this very precise point between weird and regular in terms of song structure

in full agreement. Thing is, I think Off You will dominate in this poll in a way that's unfair to all of the other songs on this album that are imo deserving of votes...

but yeah Off You is totally awesome...

it's like ur really pretty smart older sister

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

"Title T.K. if I don't black out"

lol YES

dumb made for fucking

^^^^^

Well yeah I listened it through again. Great record. I forgot how strong the back end is.

It was a record I listened to a lot when I first moved to London. It reminds me of that time. A horrible little flat that leaked rain from the roof and had carpets that smelt of vomit. They really were fine ol' times though.

Yeah, it is Off You obvs.

is this the most romantic deal record?

maybe...Safari had some romantic stuff on it didn't it?

Listening now to Mountin Battles for about the third ever time. Never ever connected with me. Any opinions?

haven't listened to it in a while, but I like MB a little more than TTK. The album was frontloaded with songs I love--Night of Joy (THAT's the song I nom'd & voted for in the half-decade poll), Overglazed, We're Gonna Rise, German Studies...

I did actually find it a bit tough to get all the way through though :(

Went into MB with high hopes and was utterly disappointed. Left it alone for a while, then went back. No change. Bad production and nothing interesting going on w/the songwriting is how it seems now. No opinion is necessarily forever, but at the moment it's probably even below Last Splash for me.

I think Mountain Battles is a great record! "Regalame Esta Noche" is really the only song on there that stands out as weak to me.

Re: "Off You", I would be strongly tempted to vote for that ONE SYNTH NOTE at :43 in a Best Thing In A Song Ever poll.

that note has like inspired me over hte years

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

Interest in album polls have dropped sharply.

i did not expect a bigger turnout for this tbh

yeah but did you see the Fun House poll too...(of course that had been polled before)

my work here is done

*shuts door behind me*
