Thank you and I hope you come to see how far Parting Gift goes.

This is only the second "This Was…" rate after 2009. The next time medoners will start 2007 Pt 1.

For sure. Thanks for hosting this.

They're very particular. I take it you're not a fan of The GoGos?

No, I've never been big on them.

I want everybody to do well. All of the albums are solid.

[Stevie]

Almost done!

I guess they're all solid, but they're not my favorite group of albums.

The stuff in "This WAS 2009" was more of my cup of tea.

[Stevie]

Sent! I only gave 8 tens. Not my favorite group of albums here, but for the most part:

Twin Cinema > Arular > Extraordinary Machine > Late Registration > The Woods & Illinois

These should be in the top 10:

"Twin Cinema"
"Use It"
"The Bleeding Heart Show"
"Jackie, Dressed in Cobras"

"Heard 'Em Say"
"Touch the Sky"

"Extraordinary Machine"
"Tymps (The Sick in the Head Song)"

"Bingo"
"Sunshowers"

[Eric.]

"The Bleeding Heart Show" & "Use It" are just majestic.

At people not recognizing delicate and refreshing beauty of "Chicago".

I gave it a 9. The best on the album.

not stevie knocking on my e-door just thirty minutes before it's supposted to be starting. too much.

I'm going to predict a Sufjan song leaves first.

[alkralkra]

You're right ClassicMainstream.

Average: 5.606

Highest: 9 x2 (Pink Panther, ClassicMainstream)
Lowest: 1.5 (thediscomonkey)

After all the hate, is anyone surprised that Sufjan Stevens has the first track leaving? "Prairie Fire That Wanders About" is our first elimination out of 75 songs we've rated. This is not a pure instrumental track but it does feel more like an interlude than actual "song" we talk about in popular music. I actually do not mind this track at all, but I don't mind it leaving first either.

BS, and it better be his worst or the instrumental song at least.

[jqnetto]

The graphics.

Great start, this song is pretty boring.

[minho]

Nothing interesting about this song. I barely even remember it!

[Eric.]

This is the least good song on the album. No problem.

[Kingfisher]

it's cute in the context of the album, but nothing special outside of it
U.R.A.Q.T. better be out soon too

[jqnetto]

I hope this is a balanced rate, I'm not here for another Veckatimest to be honest.

[Changes]

well there he goes.

[alkralkra]

Average: 6.282

Highest: 9 (Stevie)
Lowest: 0 (Jdella11)

By far the weirdest cut off of Arular. I don't get it, it's fun though.

why, what happened with Veckatimest?

not Hombre already

[Eric.]

"Hombre" is embarrassing in general. Almost nothing going on, but just a simple and skimpy production that tries to enhance the non-existance provocativeness and ends up being claustrophobic.
