To each their own, but I find it wild to rank Healthy last when there are songs like Will The Future Blame Us, Angels/Losing/Sleep, and Wipe That Smile Off Your Face on it.
That's 3 songs out of 12 lol. It's not a bad album, per se. But for me I think it's their weakest. On a good day maybe ahead of Somethingness
Heh. I like the whole album, but I just think those three songs in particular are the strongest. I like all of OLP's albums. Actually, in retrospect I probably like Curve more than Somethingness. While Curve has a couple songs I just can't get behind, it has some really strong ones like "If This Is It" and "Fire In The Henhouse". Somethingness, I like all the songs, but it doesn't feel like a cohesive album. Maybe because they released it piecemeal and even as a whole it's only nine songs.
I don’t know. I think in retrospect, that album was the very first time a band I loved to death and followed contemporarily released an album that was just such a letdown from everything previous.
(shrugs) For me it was Gravity that was the (relative) letdown and Healthy was a step up, but I appreciate that opinions are varied on this.
Gonna be honest. I didn't even realize until now what thread I've been posting in and now I notice we're just rehashing a lot of how this thread started off. Ha!
