    Lullabies is prob third for me, it could really use a song or two trimmed and has my least production of them all by a long shot tho. SFTD and S/T also suffer from being overlong and, to me, LC is a really good and well constructed record but by nature of the songwriting approach on it is just not ever gonna be what I’m reaching for first when it comes to this band. imo Villains is good but by far the weakest of the bunch.

    Era Vulgaris and Rated R, to me, do not have a wasted moment. I love the fucked up mechanical sounding approach on Era, and I love the journey Rated R takes you on (feels like their most dynamic record in some respects).

    If I were to do a top five from them it would probably look like:


    1) In The Fade
    2) I Never Came
    3) I Appear Missing

    I Appear Missing is one of the greatest pieces of music I have ever heard. I lack the vocabulary to explain exactly how I feel about it, but the closest I can get to it is that it has an 'otherworldly' quality to it (especially the last 2mins). It is such a clear No.1 on my list that I can't really decide on songs 2-5 lol

    I need to give Villains a second chance. That album never got through to me like the rest of their discography. When I saw them on that tour, those songs just didn't sound that exciting. Still like it, but not like the others.

    Gotta agree here; far and away their best work in all regards.

    If I could come up with a top 5, I Appear Missing is a clear number 1 and also ahead of the remaining 4 by a large margin. The Letterman performance is also great.

    New Foo Fighters album got me re-visiting Them Crooked Vultures, which in turn directed down a deep QOTS rabbit hole. Still love this band as much as I did in 2002. I definitely need to take a road trip to Joshua Tree and blast Songs for the Deaf.

    Hopefully we get something new this year!

    i don’t listen to this band much anymore for obvious reasons but Mark Lanegan passed away. Always one of my favorite aspects of the band. sucks.
