Thread for best stretches of songs on an album. Doesn't have to be best albums of all time or anything, just 3-5 songs in a row on an album where you feel the artist really nailed it. I have to throw out Loveless for discussion straight away. From 'To Here Knows When' to 'Sometimes' is incredible. Perfect night time driving music.
Yeah. Gun thread. Sometimes the difference between a really good and great album. My first thought was The Strokes - Is This It. I love the album from start to finish but it sort of builds and then track 5-9 are just something else and even more specifically 7-9 are just the stuff of rock and roll royalty. Because tbf Someday, Last night and NYC Cops are 3 of the better rock songs of the 00s on their own. 5. Someday 6. Alone. Together. 7. Last Night 8. Hard to Explain 9. New York City Cops
Difficult to call for me. There's a few albums I could list song stretches quite easily, but the difficult part is where to stop the stretch without pretty much listing an entire album, or at least most of it. E.g. Weezer (Blue Album)
Vitalogy is an interesting one - it has some songs I hate such as bugs but some good runs in places as well. I don't like spin the black circle that much so perhaps Not for you Tremor Christ Nothingman Whipping Better man is kind of isolated near the end.
Yeah, used to start this album from Track 5 and let it run while I was getting ready in the morning. In a similar vein of early 2000s guitar focused indie Interpols Turn on the Bright Lights is up there too. Untitled > Obstacle 1 >NYC >PDA is flawless IMO.
Kinda disagree with Blue Album. Stuff like No One Else and Holiday are way weaker than Say It Ain't So or Only in Dreams. While I don't really consider any of the songs bad, the highlights are a cut above and spaced out.
Yeah, I'd agree with that. I just have a huge soft spot for the blue album, which is why I mentioned it. Could listen to it for days.
Blackened ...And Justice for All Eye of the Beholder One The Shortest Straw Harvester of Sorrow The Frayed Ends of Sanity To Live Is to Die Dyers Eve
Its not really an album I listen through anymore, I do really like Spin the Black Circle though. Good run. Vs is a bit similar in that its got some great songs (Rearviewmirror, Elderly Woman...), but some poor ones too. Was going to suggests Tens run of Black, Jeremy, Ocean's - personally I could run that one from track 1 though. We know my love of the album
U2 - Joshua Tree's first 5 are classic 1. Where the Streets Have No Name 2. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For 3. With or Without You 4. Bullet The Blue Sky 5. Running to Stand Still
