Therapy?

Not sure if there are any fans on here anymore but they've put up a poll on their website to vote for the songs you want to hear live. It's quite a nice sentiment I thought, probably been done before though.

I've *always* treated them as comedy alternative rock. If I HAD to listen to an album it would be the second one (Teethgrinder? I forget).

Dunno if its on there but 'vicar in a tutu' by them is class.

/edit isn't and neither is Lonely, Crying, Only (or whatever) which was also top.

The second album was babyteeth after pleasure death. Then came nurse, troublegum etc.

The first 2 were the rawest and most amateurly produced and imo the best. Nurse and troublegum are very good but more accessible than the first two.

(Teethgrinder was a song from Nurse btw)

I personally like them and gre up listening to their music. I didn't really like any of the post troublegum albums though.

doh_boy: Vicar In a Tutu is a cover of a Smiths song but yes, it does own.

I agree with leggy, Babyteeth and Pleasure Death rock hard, Nurse is good and has a couple of class tracks on (Teethgrinder and Nausea) but also has a couple of songs that send me to sleep. Troublegum's good though, but they've been patchy ever since :/

They're good live though!

...and I third that Mank. Troublegum was probably their last best album. They kinda went on a slippery slope downwards as they took themselves more seriously

Troublegum's too samey all the way through, I can't seem to listen to more than half of it in any one go.

Now, Infernal Love, that's a corker.

Controversial statement of the year...Infernal Love sucked badly. I liked Short Sharp Shock and Troublegum myself, though Teethgrinder is a good song too.

 

[leggy]

Short sharp shock was an EP wasn't it? Very good though.

I agree with will, infernal love was utter tripe sticks.

 

[mank]

All the post Troublegum albums had quite good tracks on it but a lot of it was utter tripe as well.

I do advise seeing them live though, go!

Yes and yes.

SSS was between Nurse and Troublegum.

Shortsharpshock was an EP with mostly Troublegum songs though wasn't it?

ahh no, it's got Totally Random Man on. Which owns.

 

[Xtro 2.0]

Ah its all coming back now ta.

Yeah Nurse was ok. Troublegum was when I stopped bothering and Infernal Love was absolutely DIRE.

I think they went downhill when Fyfe, the original drummer, left and they bought Michael McCarrick(?) in to do cello/extra guitar work.

But there we are.
