This gets harder and harder. God help anyone trying to this their head for this list.Top four and bottom three are rock solid mostly (Even in Exile does get better with every listen), the middle ones could fluctuate in their respective brackets.
(Couldn't be better) The Holy Bible Everything Must Go Journal for Plague Lovers Even in Exile (Great but could cut a track or two) This is My Truth Lifeblood The Ultra Vivid Lament Futurology (I like but don't really listen to) Know Your Enemy Rewind the Film I killed the Zeitgeist Generation Terrorist The Great Western Resistance is Futile (Fuck off!) Send Away The Tigers Gold Against the Soul Postcards For a Young Man

Everything Must Go - perfect
The Holy Bible - perfect This Is My Truth - a couple of underpar songs. But many very beautiful/classic songs, even if the somewhat muggy/heavy production let it down a bit. The Ultra Vivid Lament - Yes, I’m digging it. Postcards from a Young Man - Great tunes and a fun listen. Golden Platitudes deserves more love. Send Away the Tigers - Very Nice Futurology - Very Nice Know Your Enemy - Random Nice Lifeblood - Mellow Nice Generation Terrorists - A few classic tunes and a lot of skipping. But the good ones are Good! Journal for Plague Lovers - The first couple of songs hit hard and it’s a decent album. Rewind the Film Gold Against The Soul Resistance is Futile

This is hard. I could do a list like this every week and the bottom five (before SATT that is) would always be in slightly different order. Feels a bit heartbreaking placing them so low, because I truly like them all, but they crave a certain mood and thus aren't my go-to albums. Top 2 is firmly fixed: EMG and GATS share the top spot and TIMTTMY is a strong second, always.
Anyway, here it is: Everything Must Go / Gold Against The Soul (Purely because GATS singles are incredible. Without them the album would be in the bottom half.) This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours ---- The Ultra Vivid Lament (Obviously we're on honeymoon still, but I have a strong tingle this will stay near the top.) Rewind The Film Lifeblood Resistance Is Futile Futurology ---- The Holy Bible Postcards From A Young Man Generation Terrorists Journal For Plague Lovers Know Your Enemy ---- Send Away The Tigers (The only album I truly do not like) Last edited by jenvidg; 12-09-2021 at 19:03.

Is New Art Riot eligible for this list? I have a huge soft spot for it.
