One of mine is Commit This to Memory by Motion City Soundtrack. I basically took the title verbatim and know the album word for word. And while I would love if it did, the rest of MCS’s stuff just doesn’t hit the same way.
And if you’re not an album person, maybe a period of time in the artist’s work? Whatever works for you.
*Lots of mentions of hit debut albums that subsequently petered out, which follows with the dreaded sophomore slump that hits many artists. Anyone with mid or even later career albums that stand alone? Those always intrigue me.
Holy shit, I love that album so much and I’ve never seen anybody else mention it! It’s intense and upbeat and poppy but also grungy and sludgy in all the right ways. Their other stuff is just kinda sludgy but without also being fun.
What’s your favourite track on Pink Lemonade? For me I’d have to say Church of the Technochrist
Oh hell yeah! I love Church of the Technochrist too but probably Seeds of Gold for me. And well described! I really wish they were able to keep up the sound they found on Pink Lemonade for their other stuff
Happy Days is my jam
Happy Days is a banger too. Probably my second favourite track.
