fucks me up still that the world found out about Spaceman by Babylon Zoo back in the 90s because of a fuckin' levi jeans advert.
and everyone was like "AW YEAH THAT'S A GREAT TRACK I NEED MORE"
and then everyone collectively got the whole fuckin album "Boy with the X-Ray Eyes" and people realised that the bit htey used for the advert, was just the VERY BEGINNING, and the VERY END of the song, none of the rest of it, and some folks were like "wtf this is SHIT D: "
(this thread brought to you by me listening to the entire album Boy with the X Ray Eyes again fro the first time in decades and i just... fuck i still love the whole fuckin' thing)
four songs in to the album and i still love them all.
I am sure there'll be one I'll be like "eeehhh I think I'll skip that one".
Even on United By Fate, by Rival Schools, quite literally one of my favourite albums ever, there's several tracks I skip every time. But if I like at least half the tracks, then I consider it a good album. My absolute faves, I like at least 75% of the tracks.
I haven't yet found an album I like 100% of the tracks all the time. But it could happen!
...Oh wait Discovery by Daft Punk comes close, lol.
okay yeah the entire album slaps, the only song I don't much like is the penultimate one is your soul for sale but otherwise fuckin' all of them rule. good album, always was.
like, what the fuck.
the song fuckin' rules. the FULL song. the whole fuckin' ALBUM fuckin' rules. Like, fuck the spedup bits of Spaceman, the actual song itself fuckin' slaps like hell.
When I listened to the whole album I was just fuckin' blown away by how good the whole thing was like oh my GOD it was way better than the bit the advert used.
Absolutely criminal people didn't recognise how good that album was at the time.
