2000 in music. • Page 5

yeah you might want to revisit, you might have the two backwards. Now You See Inside is mostly rockin the whole way whereas Tomorrow gets more downtempo in the back half

 

Now You See Inside is one my truest guilty pleasures. It’s lyrically repulsive, a shameless corporate cash in on a trend and generally pure cringe, but i still have an unsettling fondness for it.

but for real, Right Now and Politically Correct are disgusting songs

 

I like Marvelous 3 and Butch is a great producer, but that band tanked because they sound like hair metal in a pop punk costume. On the wrong side of the fence for every audience

 

The entire band WAS a hair metal band in the late 80’s/early 90’s

 

Machina II was so good, and I guess technically I can say I'm counting the two albums as one, but damn I've never heard a decent quality version of II.

Corgan's been teasing this remastered rerelease for like 7 years now!

 

The singer, Mitch Allen, is a very successful songwriter and producer now as well

 

a pretty cool one too!

 

I actually believe Machina I + II is gonna happen this year. There was a lot of tangible updates on it from Billy last year, feels like it's happening for real.

I haven’t participated since the ‘70s because I still need time to get through the 80s/90s but early ‘00s I’m here for!

 

I've already heard that one and wasn't super into it. I'm not exactly a big black metal fan, I started off enjoying it but just got bored of the sound as the album progressed. Cool album cover though! haha.

2. At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command
3. RATM - Renegades

 

Interesting seeing the No Doubt album come up on a few lists. There are some great songs on there but, like Tragic Kingdom, feel like it's WAY too long.

 

Return of Saturn is mostly OK but it fades really badly in the back half and it' easily the band's worst album

 

They’re one of the great singles bands. The albums are all way too long and, unless im forgetting something, none of the album tracks are nearly as good as the hits.

 

Uhhh yes you are forgetting something, plenty of excellent album tracks on Tragic Kingdom and rocksteady

 

Tragic Kingdom is a great album. Maybe it’s bloated but that’s a sign of the times.

 

not sure what I would cut from Tragic Kingdom if I had to, the album cuts are super strong.

 

Personally I agree

 

The Climb, Tragic Kingdom, End On this all get a little grating to me.

 

Also, in terms of albums that need the whole remaster/slick new packaging/bonus tracks added to them, I can't believe Coldplay hasn't reissued Parachutes or A Rush Of Blood To The Head. A lot of great b-sides from both eras, particularly Parachutes as they had various EP's beforehand. I do notice that all those songs are on streaming platforms so I suppose it may not make a ton of sense but I just am a nerd and love bonus tracks.

 

Had a lot of fun listening to this album for the first time.
