shit songs from otherwise brilliant albums

iamwiggy [Edit] [Delete] 205 replies 23:18 February 25th, 2013

I am listening to Arc by Everything Everything having been introduced to them over the weekend.

Armourland appears to be a shit song on an otherwise brilliant album.

Another example is Don't Stop from The Stone Roses. Painfully shit track, rest of the album is incredible.

What say you?

    it can only really be Meat Is Murder. 30 minutes of jangley indie and then 10 minutes of buzzsaws and mooing.

    - With you on Meat is Murder
      
      I've always believed that the album is almost perfect, better even than The Queen is Dead, until it gets to the halfway point of the second side. Barbarism Begins at Home is half a song stretched out for what seems like hours and the title track is mawkish rubbish.

      - Meat Is Murder
        
        is an embarassing end to a fantastic album. Although it is unintentionally quite funny.

  - remember Marr saying somewhere how disappointed he was when Morrissey came back with those lyrics
    
    to go with what was one of his favourite pieces of music he ever wrote
    
    JaguarPirate @Severed799 | 26 Feb '13, 15:27 | X | ^ This | Reply
    - Similarly, Johnny Marr was reportedly much put out that, having written a particularly pretty tune, Morrissey gave it the rather less fetching title Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others.

    - Was thinking about this story the other day
      
      Bernard Butler used to steal the same line and use it for We are the Pigs.
      
      That said, Marr's comment was, I believe, tongue-in-cheek. He tends to stay above direct criticism of Morrissey.

  - That's because it's a Lennon-Macca song sung by Ringo.
    
    He means Don't Pass Me By, which is fucking dreadful. And I guess What Goes On, which is definitely the song you skip to make Rubber Soul seem good.

I like Don't Stop

it lets you settle into the album after starting with three knock-out classics. With hindsight they could have wedged on Sally Cinnamon or Elephant Stone or Mersey Paradise but it would have been too much - Don't Stop let's the album breathe.

Elizabeth My Dear is shit though.

- its the production...
  
  ...if they had just left it as a simple little guitar number, it would have been fine, albeit still decidedly average for their standards. but adding that Muse-esque voice and those ridiculous flatulent synths make it one of their very worst tracks. and it was a single, right? amazing.

Pink Cellphone by Deftones - instantly skipped/deleted.

It's Oh So Quiet by Bjork is a war crime. I know a lot of people defend this song but anything involving a big band/swing sort of thing makes me livid.

  The Decline of British Sea Power is my joint favourite album of all time (along with Turn On The Bright Lights) and Lately is the best track on it. It certainly takes its time to get going and to get to the end but it really is incredible. I am as staggered by your suggestion as I was by Theo saying Let Down was a weak song.

The Beatles

I feel like The Beatles could not make a record without putting at least one song on that just fucks everything up. It doesn't necessarily need to be a bad song - in fact, if you were to take most of these songs and make an album out of them, I'd probably love it - but most of them are just so goddamn questionable that it ruins the flow of everything. And, like that album, I would still think that "Good Morning, Good Morning" was unlistenable.

Drive My Car (Rubber Soul)
Yellow Submarine (Revolver)
Lovely Rita AND Good Morning, Good Morning (Sgt. Pepper's)
Wild Honey Pie, Why Don't We Do It In The Road?, Everbody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me and My Monkey, Savory Truffle (White Album)
Octopus's Garden (Abbey Road)
Maggie Mae (Let It Be)

SO THERE
