This is my favorite Smog album (unless you consider the albums under the name Bill Callahan Smog albums, in which case this is my second favorite). My first, as well. Really tough to pick just one, this one really works best as an 'album.' Torn and will vote later.

"All Your Women Things" is one of his best ever.

I really don't agree with the negative opinions of it on the other thread, this is probably my fave or my 2nd fave Smog album.

^^this song live was a heart-stopper

Yeah, the idea of this one as somehow being a 'dud' befuddles me. It's his wooziest, most Leonard Cohen-esque, some of his greatest lyrics too.

who said it was a dud?

who said it was a dud?

not me but i think it is, pretty much.

"somewhere in the night" for sure even though bill c disparages it as his elvis costello song

― reggie (qualmsley), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 01:21 (fourteen years ago)

a good reason to disparage something!

― jed_, Tuesday, 19 April 2011 01:27 (fourteen years ago)

this album is dreary imo.

― jed_, Tuesday, 19 April 2011 01:34 (fourteen years ago)

"All Your Women Things"

― Iago Galdston, Tuesday, 19 April 2011 01:44 (fourteen years ago)

it IS dreary, but usually that's why i put it on: 'hey, let's play something DREARY'.

― j., Tuesday, 19 April 2011 02:39 (fourteen years ago)

four hearts in a can

― mizzell, Tuesday, 19 April 2011 03:15 (fourteen years ago)

think it's more bleak than dreary

another one for "all your women things", which might be my favorite song of his

― boehner und der club of gore (donna rouge), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 03:26 (fourteen years ago)

This album is pretty bad, but Somewhere In The Night.

― Beggar On A Beach Of Shite. (PaulTMA), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 12:29 (fourteen years ago)

does anybody have the link for the "posts you were gonna make but were just sober enough not to" thread?

― A Zed and Two Nults (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 12:49 (fourteen years ago)

probably would shoot for "Everything You Touch Becomes a Crutch"; if there's a leonard cohen comparison here, it fits with diamonds in the mine, for being convincingly upended and unstable

great sleeve

I may have forgotten to vote in this poll after all. Wouldn't have voted for it, but "Whistling Teapot" was robbed.
