Truth and THB are my top two albums. I must be a right misery!

I can't listen to TIMT when I'm in a low mood - it drags me way down. with Holy Bible at least there's the anger and energy that keeps you going - TIMT starts out redemptive and just flops like it's been hit with a triple dose of downers.

Same, my favourite album ever but I ony listen to it fully when I'm really in a terrible mood and need to be distanced from my own mindset a bit, or when I'm fairly happy.

Don't think I have to be in any particular mood to listen to it. Unlike THB!

You have got to be joking! BHFTY is an abortion of a song, lucky to even have made it as a b-side!

It's the rubbish keyboards and Sophie Ellis Bextor vocals that ruin it for me. Be Natural trounces it in all musical and lyrical departments. However I would replace YTAYT and INW with PTH and MA78 though. And squeeze BFDP in somewhere, probably for BAG.

It's an album of polar opposites for me, on one side you have the greats like Tolerate, You Stole The Sun, Ready For Drowning and Nobody Loved You . . . and on the flipside utter pish like I'm Not Working, Born A Girl, Be Natural and SYMM.

I like TIMT, I have to be in the right mood for it though.
Funnily enough, I find it really helps when I'm tired despite it not being at all energetic.

Also, BHFTY = a fantastic song. I hate Sophie Ellis-Bextor under normal circs though.

They're my two main reasons for loving it so much. That, and the line "breathing in men down the gym", which in JDB's voice is incredibly homoerotic and in SEB's voice is incredibly slutty. So win/win, basically.

Marwood.

Me too, I think the two albums compliment each other beautifully.

Never knew that was one of the lyrics to Blackholes!

Aaron, how could you!
