Yo Dudes and Dudettes,
Luke here checking in on some tasty record nerd stuff. Just listening to some of my favorite records and thinking about how I really like some records better than what the conventional wisdom says a certain bands best record is. Let me give you three examples. Ok, maybe four. Circa Now by Rocket From The Crypt, not Scream Dracula Scream. Radio Activity by Kraftwerk, not any of the other ones. A Catholic Education by Teenage Fanclub, not Bandwagonesque? The first OMD record, not Dazzleships. Ok so there it is all great records that are conventionally liked, I’m not gonna argue, this guy just likes those other ones better. Be your own judge, choose your own adventure, don’t worry to much, trust yourself.
Love
Luke
Yeah that’s the same with the majority of my favourite bands. Infact in alot of cases the bands most commercially successful album is my least favourite.
Totally agree on the Circa Now vs Scream Dracula Scream! All Systems Go vs Circa Now… There’s a barn burner!

Yeah, Amen to that, to be fair Rocket from the crypt were always pretty scattered for great songs, they never really had a weak album.
like beck for example, everyone loves odelay, when for me it has to be midnight vultures all the time.
cant wait for a new Rapture album someday soon, keep up the amazing work!
