Alt/Rock Album RDs #69 - Blue Weekend (Wolf Alice)

[Blurry]

I'm going to need to relisten to the album.

I only remember a few tracks off the top of my head.

[Daryl the Beryl]

Just submitted. Album's ok actually.

Also, please do NOT suggest Lord Huron's Strange Trails as a catalog album. I'm counting that as a current album with "The Night We Met" still rising up the radio charts, and the fact that they didn't release an album after that yet.

[Daryl the Beryl]

2 more days!

(would be 1 more day, but I sent this reminder 1 day late)

Well, we'll start this after we finish the 2013 alternative rankdown tonight. I promise this will be the last delay

 at someone placing "When I Became a Man" at #1.

[Green Baron]

I think that's a symbolic gesture to indicate how s**tty the rest of the album was

[Blurry]

"Make No Sound in the Digital Forest" deserved way better. Even for an instrumental.

[aerodynamite]

Off to a good start; the bottom 3 are my #9-#11.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

So far ,those are my bottom 3.

[Pale Shelter]

my #11 might come in 1st place...or, maybe my ranking it so low will push it down to 2nd overall

[alexcuse]

"When I Became a Man" is classic, can't believe you all ranked it last.

[The Bode Blend (Moose)]

"When I Became A Man" is legitimately funny and endearingly quirky. It gets stuck in my head sometimes. Not deserving of #1, but I ranked it above some of the more boring tracks on this album.

"Undefeated" being one of those. I'm glad it landed this low in the rankings.

Regarding "Make No Sound In The Digital Forest", I can appreciate a good instrumental, but this one didn't do anything for me. It sounds interesting on paper, since the band members swapped instruments, but that doesn't translate to something that warrants repeated listens.

If it's the song I think you're talking about, I ranked it pretty low myself.

Throw Out the Map deserved better.

[Blurry]

My Top 4 makes it as the top 4 here. Nice.

[The Bode Blend (Moose)]

Well, there go four of my top 5...

[Green Baron]

My #4 is the highest left, damn.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

Well, I'm not nailing the positions, but still doing great. I hope I nail the next four.

American Idiot is great, but we did Green Day not too long ago. Let's dig into some Linkin Park before they sucked

[Daryl the Beryl]

For our next catalog album rankdown, it's a tie between two classics from two alternative rock veterans; Green Day's American Idiot and Linkin Park's Meteora. You have 1 day to break the tie!

Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream is eliminated and has to be re-suggested, as it blanked in the form with 0 votes. Enterting the ballot are Foo Fighters' The Color and the Shape and Tame Impala's Lonerism.

* - someone also suggested Pearl Jam's Ten even though it was in the main vote. Even if this vote is counted, the album only gets 3 votes as compared to AI or Meteora (and The Killers' Hot Fuss, but that got 1 less suggestion in the previous poll) which each got 6 votes.

[Green Baron]

Ugh, State of the Art is one of my least favorite Incubus songs

[peacebone]

Not a fan of either album, but American Idiot just feels much more important and worthy of a rankdown.

[janinho]

I voted for Meteora but it was a tough decision.

[The Bode Blend (Moose)]

Was really hoping "Nimble Bastard" would not win... oh well, at least "No Fun" came close.

As for the next rankdown, American Idiot all the way!

[aerodynamite]

Meteora FTW

One of my favorite albums of all time and perhaps *the* defining album of my childhood

[American Idiot]

I do love "Meteora," but my username resembles my favorite album of all-time. Obviously, I'm going to choose "American Idiot" with that being said.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

"American Idiot" for the win. Linkin park was never that good to begin with.
