The Blue Nile - A Walk Across the Rooftops

Hats is the “classic” but on some days I prefer their debut.

 

Shit, I missed this yesterday. Busy day at work. But hell yeah, a great pick

 

Just want to say thanks to everyone for the good conversation on the last pick. It could have been pretty easy to just say “this sucks” and move on but I feel like everyone had more insightful criticisms and it led to a good conversation on nostalgia and music.

 

I’ve never listened to The Blue Nile, this album is great. The production is insane. I particularly love the title track.

kind of get Wild Beasts vibes from it, a band I haven’t even thought of in years.

 

I'm glad you picked it! It really shook things up! I keep thinking someone in the film club thread should pick some trash, but I wasn't ready to get dragged for it, lol.

 

be the change you wish to see in the threads

 

sitting down to this now. shocked that I’ve never heard of this band. it’s right up my alley. great stuff

 

I’ll support this. The thread should examine the works of terrible auteurs like Uwe Boll.

 

Stay is pretty incredible

 

Just finished my first listen and Stay is a highlight for me as well.

 

Easter Parade omg

just beautiful

 

so I’m listening to the 14 track deluxe and it seems like I’m nearing the end of the original album. is it imperative for me to listen to all 14 or nah?

 

Automobile Noise is a special song

maybe my favorite

 

Bonus tracks are fine but I’d just move on to Hats if you haven’t heard it

 

alright moved on to Hats. no deluxe version this time

 

Lol actually the Hats bonus tracks are pretty incredible

 

I really enjoyed A Walk Across the Rooftops

 

Personally, I think we could all learn a lot from BloodRayne

 

is Hats even better tho? it might be
but I need more time with them both

 

This Blue Nile album is really good. Tinseltown in the Rain and Easter Parade were my favorite tracks. Really doesn’t feel like it came out in the 80s. Production has a more modern feel to it. Unless the Spotify one is remastered lol

 

I’m gonna get this on vinyl

 

Their later releases (and Buchanan’s solo effort) are also very good, I just don’t think theyre as good as the first two.

 

Woke up having an anxiety attack this morning, so I listened to Ambient 1 on the way to work. Only album that seems to help me come down (and specifically "1/1").

 

Just got turned on to this bad boy and it's been helping me calm down

 

Hell yeah, will throw this on ASAP. Thank you!

 

dug A Walk Across the Rooftops, moving onto Hats!
