EyesWideShut
11.04.16 | Koz is the mon | Spacesh1p
11.04.16 | 2 is the only one I've given much time to but I love it. | Astral Abortis
11.04.16 | Interesting ranking, for me it's probably Benji > Admiral > Ghosts > April > Universal > Among the Leaves | DoofusWainwright
11.04.16 | Great list, I'd pick some different highlights for a few of these though (No 'Among the Leaves'? No 'Tonight in Bilbao'? No 'The Leaning Tree'? No 'Jim Wise'?)
My ranking would be 2>1>3>5>4>6>7 | EyesWideShut
11.04.16 | Yea Tonight in Bilbao and The Leaning Tree are amazing but just slipped out.. With Among The Leaves I have a hard time picking tracks because the kinda blends together..
Man SKM got some many amazing songs its kinda hard to pick em.. | Ocean of Noise
11.04.16 | Sweet, why not fit RHP into the ranking too tho? I mean they're basically the same band | EyesWideShut
11.04.16 | tbh i havent dove into RHP anywhere near SKM.. I do like what ive heard tho.. | rufinthefury
11.04.16 | only SKM i've listened to is Red House Painters. | EyesWideShut
11.04.16 | im sure you'll dig some of these album then.. just a little more folk vibes broski. | NeroCorleone80
11.04.16 | Cool list. 1 and 3 are pretty much tied for me | Relinquished
11.04.16 | Admiral > Ghosts > April > his newer stuff
had more time with his older material that I'm gonna wait until I'm a old man like Koz to appreciate his place in life. jk but I'm as into them as others are. | AngryJohnny
11.04.16 | Yeah no Ghosts is 1. Obviously. April and Benji come joint 2nd | EyesWideShut
11.04.16 | lmao for awhile Ghosts was like my 4th fav.. Admiral is the dark horse and only gets better especially for winter. | Chortles
11.04.16 | tf happened to the ghosts album art | Relinquished
11.04.16 | that's what it is | EyesWideShut
11.04.16 | yea the other cover for Ghosts was much better.. i think that's the re-issue or w/e.. | rufinthefury
11.04.16 | im in this for the feels not the folks but ill see what i can get | Chortles
11.04.16 | hmm didnt kno that, dont have a physical copy or anything so all ive known are whats on here and rym :~) | Relinquished
11.04.16 | you'll get feels with skm too ruf | synysterdjs
11.05.16 | Haven't listened to Universal Themes yet, but I can rank the other LPs.
Ghosts > Benji > Admiral > April > Among the Leaves
I do think Admiral is unfairly criticised. I think 'The Leaning Tree' and 'Australian Winter' are great tracks individually, but they don't fit aptly following the flow of the first six tracks. The last two tracks make up for it, though. It's the last time he sounded genuinely passionate about writing and performing music, from what I've noticed.
April is fantastic and incredibly emotional, but 'Tonight the Sky' is way too long and its minor noise rock elements incohesive. Though 'Moorestown' is possibly my favourite track on the album, this version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC_tDf9hstE), alone with his classical guitar, is almost perfect.
I actually love the original acoustic rendition of 'Duk Koo Kim', as well as the extended and distorted noise rock version of 'Carry Me, Ohio' from '02. | Relinquished
11.05.16 | "I think 'The Leaning Tree' and 'Australian Winter' are great tracks individually, but they don't fit aptly following the flow of the first six tracks."
the leaning tree rules and def fits with the context of the rest of the album.
"I actually love the original acoustic rendition of 'Duk Koo Kim'"
dude yea it's so lovely | Astral Abortis
11.05.16 | I've not even seen Admiral criticised in that way. I just know I've never seen enough love for it. | synysterdjs
11.05.16 | @OvDeath -- Yeah, "criticised" is the wrong term and the way you put is closer to how it's actually perceived.
@Relinquished -- Like I said, the song is great individually, and perhaps thematically it is fitting. However, it's just jarring for me whenever I come off that incredible chain of tracks that preceded it. It's nowhere near as bad as how I feel about 'Tonight the Sky', though. | EyesWideShut
11.05.16 | @Synyster
cant say i see anything wrong with Tonight the Sky but i might be biased since its my fav SKM album.. Lost Verses might be my all time fav song from them doe. | synysterdjs
11.05.16 | 'Blue Orchids' is a heart-rending closer, but falling in love with Admiral somewhat ruined the song's use of steel string. It's so conspicuous when I listen to it now that I wish Mark would perform a version with his nylon string, at least for the sake of comparison. Strangely, I don't feel the same about any other acoustic track he's done pre-Admiral. | mouton0ir
11.08.16 | Ghosts>April>Admiral>Benji>Among the Leaves=Universal Themes | EyesWideShut
