I don’t know why I find this so funny. I didn’t even know this album existed until today but the fact that Ben Folds helped with this makes it even better (He’s another one of my favorite artists after Pulp)

We All Have Cellphones (So C’mon Let’s Get Real) is one of the best deep cuts, we can all agree on this, right?

Flood and Out of Time: The one that got popular because it had a big hit on it

Apollo 18 and Automatic for The People: Both released in 1992 and both have songs interpolating The Lion Sleeps Tonight

John Henry and Monster: Their attempt to do a “rock” album that a lot of people hated at the time despite being really good albums

Factory Showroom and New Adventures in Hi-Fi: These kind of flopped despite maybe being the best albums they released this decade

Long Tall Weekend and Up: Everybody forgets about these, because they’re a bit spottier than the others.

and there’s also Boss of Me and The Great Beyond: Two songs written for a TV show/movie and have NO right to go as hard as they do for being commissioned songs.

Apparently this record was produced and engineered by Steve Lillywhite and Hugh Padgham while they were also doing Drums & Wires and Dave shows up on this track and “I Don’t Remember”.

Kate Bush also appears on this record, she does backing vocals on “Games Without Frontiers”.

(you don‘t have to count Live Noise)

For me, it’s:

1. Bargainville

2. You Will Go To The Moon

3. Thornhill

4. Wood

5. The B Album

6. The C Album

Okay I just have to rant about this. I’m a Canadian, not a brit, but essentially, I go to high school with a girl who is similarly very upper-class/kind of rich and OBSESSED with how the middle class/has parents who hold like office jobs and stuff like me and all my friends live. She’ll constantly come up to us during free period and just start asking annoying questions like “Oh hey how big are your homes? Oh, they’re only like two stories? HOW QUAINT! oh god I love houses like those they’re not like MY house that‘s like five stories and has like a personal maid blah blah blah”. And her voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard.

Anyways, I got into this band like three weeks ago. Ever since, whenever this girl has her back turned, I start singing “You’ll never live like common people/You’ll never do what other common people do…” I’m sure she’d miss the point if I ever played the song for her and adapt it as her theme song just based off the first chorus.

Kind of unrelated but Different Class is a 10/10 no skips record, as is This Is Hardcore. I have yet to listen to much else.

Ralf Und Florian is a gorgeous record that is on par with stuff like Autobahn and Trans-Europe Express. And the self-titled and 2, despite being a bit less cohesive and “musique concrete” territory, also have their moments, like Klingklang and Stratovarius.

I just don’t think they’re bad enough records to warrant being deleted from the catalogue. Even if I think the self-titled is a bit spotty and kind of hard to listen to in some places.

Repost because I think the first attempt got lost in the algorithm or something.
