Alligator is the least, to be sure. This is the best after giving this more time and attention.

If you love Boxer, how can you at least not sort of like Alligator?

Alligator is an awesome album. Could be though because it was my first by these guys.

It baffles me how I don't like it really. Perhaps I find the production a bit rough and the songs underwritten compared to boxer

Alligator is amazing but it's a 4.5 for me whereas this and Boxer are 5s. It's definitely a grower though cause I didn't like it at all at first. It just has a few songs I don't like whereas I love every song on their other two "classics"

It helps that the opening few songs on Boxer and High Violet really kick ass, even on first listen

Some songs sound like Coldplay and others like the Smiths

Dude, I was hooked on Alligator super-quick. I've had many intimate, ugly, and beautiful moments to that album. It's a "classic" in my book easily, there's really not a single thing I don't love about it.



I forgot who I'm talking to, but whoever said it, what exactly do you mean the songs on Alligator being "underwritten" compared to Boxer?

For me, it's Alligator = Boxer > High Violet. But they're all 5's.

I still haven't got around to Boxer, still digging Alligator and this though.

One of the best records of last year for sure. So many great moments and I agree not even a single weak moment. Might bump it up to a 5 later. I can't believe it took me this long to get into these guys.
