Rather Ripped Poll
 
Most of us have heard the album thanks to the gracious SY for streaming it for us. What is the stand-out track for you? I can't include them all, hence the OTHER selection.

Neongod 05.12.2006 11:43 PM

If other, please list below.

Neongod 05.12.2006 11:46 PM

Tough choice between Pink Steam, Reena, and Rats. I must choose the most former.

marleypumpkin 05.12.2006 11:50 PM

I voted "Rats". Lee had 1 song on this whole album, & hit a fucking grand slam w/ this song.

Indeed he did. And as uncoventional as it is (though great) I still have to go with Pink Steam. It's like RoT in reverse.

marleypumpkin 05.12.2006 11:59 PM

I'll say it again, my favorite song off "Rather Ripped" is, the entire fucking album. A *** rating.

Neongod 05.13.2006 12:00 AM

Props to the Reena voter. That's so close to my favorite, but see above. ^

That's the correct answer, and wins star prize! The best track on Rather Ripped is indeed 'Pink Steam'. Although 'SLeeping Around' comes close.

marleypumpkin 05.13.2006 05:59 AM

& inclusion to being one of the best tracks on the album, "Pink Steam" is also the longest track on the album.

Spiritual Amnesia 05.13.2006 06:11 AM

i´ve listened to it now.
my favs are rats, incinerate, reena,lights out,or,
but the most beautiful song is pink steam.

EDIT: "what a waste" is awesome too

Toxa 05.13.2006 06:55 AM

Lights Out!

Pablitzen 05.13.2006 03:10 PM

Incinerate, Pink Steam and Sleeping Around...

i don't know most of the other songs...i haven't heard the album yet

Trasher02 05.13.2006 03:20 PM

reena

RockerNino 05.13.2006 04:00 PM

reena is awesome. so is Or and the neutral.

umjammer atomsk 05.13.2006 04:44 PM

Rats is amazing but so is pink steam, the neutral, reena, jams run free and what a waste. I haven't listend to or enough yet to make a good decision on it though (i'm thinking it's good).

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 05.13.2006 04:47 PM

I really like neutral

Laila 05.13.2006 10:43 PM

i think it's funny how they chose to do "what a waste" on gilmore girls and it's like the crappiest song on the album. they should have done "jams run free"

krastian 05.13.2006 10:50 PM

You keep me coming home again......


It was weird listening to RR like this for the first time, but whatever I guess.

whorefrost 05.14.2006 06:12 AM

it's not on the album but it's a poll option under other - Helen Lundeberg of course... shits all over the whole of Rather Ripped...

ganarama 05.14.2006 04:08 PM

Tough one, it changes every day but Pink Steam is outstanding.

Kazz 05.14.2006 06:02 PM

Pink Steam, with Reena & Incinerate tied for second.

Inhuman 05.14.2006 06:38 PM

I like Jams run free, what a waste, and Reena

holy-reverb!! 05.14.2006 08:30 PM

i havnt heard the album yet, Im waiting. I heard the paris versions and like
 


I cant judge untill i hear the album, on the official release.

Disgruntled Youth 05.14.2006 08:52 PM

I'm having a hard time can you add a few more multiple choice?

greenlight 05.15.2006 09:48 AM

ask me later, eventhough i heard some of the songs, i still must listen to it more.

10 is the max, or I would have.

AllHandsOnTheBigOne 05.15.2006 10:44 AM

Kim's songs. Jams Run Free especially.

_slavo_ 05.15.2006 10:46 AM

yes, reena is wonderful and so is pink steam.

i can't wait to have the CD in my hands

Phlegmscope 05.15.2006 10:50 AM

I only decided to listen to the first five songs, in order not to crush my dreams completely.
I wasn't too impressed, to be honest, except for Do you believe in rapture which I'm liking at the moment.

I had my doubts about this album since the first versions of the songs.
It's not bad but can't bear comparison to a lot of their other albums.

scott v 05.15.2006 02:30 PM

I have to agree this album, as to me it is obviously lyrically weak, but musically its very good and direct... though its abit too one-dimensional throughout (Rats is the one song that sounds quite different than the rest since Thurston is playing bass), but some of the bad lyrics on this are troubling:

what a waste
you're so chaste
i can't wait
to taste your face

???what???why???

sleepin' around
all over town
what will the neighbors say

huh??? who cares what the neighbors say???

they've done better... don't get me wrong i still love this band but it would've been nice if the helen lundeburg/eyeliner 7" is what this album was really like.

Mildred Pierce 05.15.2006 08:15 PM

to me it is hard to choose between Pink Steam and What A Waste....
I like Kim on this album, she really can sing!!!

Go for one more...Pink Steam. One of the best "guitar songs" in the latest SY era, IMO.

Disgruntled Youth 05.15.2006 10:49 PM

I've had Lights Out in my head all day today
