Sorrow could be anywhere on the album and it would still be 11/10

‘TWFM is out there and exists for a reason‘
Surely no mere coincidence it is my one and only NTL 5/5.

This and TWFM are definitely an interesting case study of how just important an opener can be for setting an album’s tone.

Maybe 'Sorrow' should have repeated between every other track



Could be like 'A Sweet Sweet Man' on the Tindersticks debut ;P

Boxer was easy #1 for a long time. Alligator 2nd.

Alligator is barely holding onto 3rd place these days.

Alligator was my fave for years but now it's comfortably behind the proceeding four albums

Each of their albums from Alligator to SWB finds a different tone, fits a different mood and takes a different approach. Trying to rank one of the best album runs in music seems pointless.

It's for sure more ambitious but the execution is pretty shaky in places

"Boxer is the 5th best album of all time"



I actually agree with this to the letter
