It's far from being their best album, and it does contain a few turds, but on the whole it's far from being a turd. I just wish that they made a more focused single album than a sprawling and patience-testing double album. But when it gets good it gets good.

Hahahahaha, oh you.

Is that all?

Urban Hat€monger ? · 05-09-2013, 05:48 PM

no I've not checked my CDs yet

Zer0 · 05-09-2013, 05:50 PM

I still wouldn't place MC&TIS in my top ten of 1995 but it's hardly Jagged Little Pill.

**Janszoon** · 05-09-2013, 05:52 PM

I like a lot of those but god damn give me Smashing Pimpkins over Belly any day of the week.

Urban Hat€monger ? · 05-09-2013, 05:53 PM

I quite like the idea of a band called Smashing Pimpkins

And there's nothing wrong with Belly.

Belly are a nightmare best forgotten.

Maybe if I had heard some of those albums before I heard MCIS I would agree... but considering it is one of the albums that developed my taste to the point where I could actually appreciate said albums, it remains in a top spot.

And I have never understood the appeal of The Fall.
