PHILLY (Loosely Related to The Philadelphia Phillies)

This is all the rage, and this is my tier ranking as of today (because I'm a fucking nerd):

i seen a lot of people do this on facebook. Although I'm not sure how to do it.

Phills have been looking great. Now if Atlanta could start losing...

Jeez, the White Sox stink. But I'll take a sweep any way we can get it. Nice to see a full series of great pitching. On to Cincinnati.

I think it’s way too early to rank Dark Matter.  I really like it and think songs 3-8 are one hell of a run.  That being said want to see how it plays live and revisit after the tour before I can place it in a PJ tier. Generally I really dig the music aspect but kind of think Ed has gotten a bit long winded in his lyrics.  I’d like a bit more minimization in his lyrics if that makes any kind of sense

So this Phila. version of Dark Matter is only available in some store in Kutztown? Or is it available more widely at indie record stores?

I think it's more widely available, that's just the store I think that's gone through the RSD website?

My 10C version should be arriving today.

Nice sweep. Hopefully first of many. Redeemed my Phillies 5k ticket offer for last nights game and got rewarded with that gem from Ranger. Is this the beginning of the Ranger Cy Young campaign?

Aging nicely! Still very early but the boys are cruisin'

Takeaway from the Stern interview: that Mike is, surprisingly, a NIMBY.

I've seen this thing floating around...what does the S stand for?

Regarding Stern--I liked it...but man I was hoping he'd go deeper and ask about the drumming history and stuff. Or when Stone brought up the fact that he thought the band was going to break up at one point, he doesn't even give him a follow up question. What?!

He did press a little about them avoiding having hits and stuff but....meh.

Funny how Ed said no to Glorified G though. 

Jearlpam0925

Yeah this was pushing back to early days, repetitive stuff we've heard ad nauseum. I thought it'd be closer to he Eddie interview he did recently. Was expecting more, but then again they aren't the most engaged - nor would I be at 6 in the morning.

S tier is video game nerd talk for the greatest, so a step up from an A grade.

Johnny Abruzzo

Also thought the Stern interview was weak. Shallow knowledge. Especially after the amazing Eddie interview. Nice work with Matt’s KISS cover band. That was great.

I thought it stood for Superior.

Here's what my list would look like:

S- Ten, Yield
A- Vs, Vitaolgy, No Code
B- Binaural, Dark Matter, Gigaton, Avocado
C- Backspacer, Lightning Bolt, Riot Act
D- nothing

The Juggler

I think this feels right...for now

S- Yield, No Code, Ten, Vs
A- Vitalogy
B- Binaural, Dark Matter, Avocado, Riot Act
C- Gigaton
D- Lightning Bolt, Backspacer

Johnny Abruzzo

S: Ten, Vs., Yield, Avocado
A: Vitalogy, No Code, Dark Matter
B: Binaural, Gigaton
C: Riot Act, Backspacer, Lightning Bolt
 

My alternate Binaural would be an S, but it is what it is:

1. Breakerfall
2. Gods Dice
3. Sad
4. Light Years
5. NAIS
6. Thin Air
7. Insignificance
8. Of the Girl
9. Grievance
10. Rival
11. Fatal
12. Sleight of Hand
13. Parting Ways

had a feeling the Phills were due for a loss, especially with yesterday's lineup.

Agreed on Binaural alternate version. Plus you give me the Puzzles and Games version of Light Years and it's even better. I like Light Years....but man on man, that song would've been huge before they stripped it down. It's a really good album but it's one I need to be in a mood for.


Also, I'd probably remove God's Dice as well.

That's the thing I love about that album though, I'd say it sounds less like what you would expect from them than even No Code. God's Dice, Evacuation, Sleight of Hand, Thin Air, Insignificance (I'm gonna end up listing the whole album), Rival (I will never not believe that I was the reason this was played at the first of the '09 Spectrum shows). For all the shit apparently Ed is getting for sandwiching lyrics into songs on Dark Matter I'd say Binaural is the biggest culprit of that, and I love it.

I was following the thread as a 10C newbie and definitely thought that the band played that song as a request. They were even talking about the "Stone quitting" rumors when they played Mankind.

JP try and get them to play some other Binaural stuff (how about Insignificance?). I have the hardest time "collecting" songs from that album. And also haven't gotten Sad or Fatal.

The Juggler

I just think God's Dice and Evacuation are two of their worst songs. That knocks it down a peg or two for me. 

The Juggler

Regarding DM.....one that that tells me the album is great is I have a different song stuck in my head at different times throughout the day. It's not just one song or a few. Just about the whole fucking album.

I think Gods Dice fits into their mantra of always having a "punk song" on the album. Spin, Lukin, DTE, Big Wave, Supersonic, MYM... I guess Running. It wouldn't be the same without it. But Evacuation is indeed not good.

F Me In The Brain

Sad is underplayed.  Have seen it but wpuld be good seeing a heck of a lot more.  So good.

Jearlpam0925

I always put Down and Sad together. Both are two songs that don't get played enough anymore.

Finally it came:

Underplayed and underrated. Like, really underrated. Like, maybe it's their best song underrated.

Hell. Yes.

Haha saw this, too. Hopefully it's decent.

I don't quite find that guy as funny as everyone else does for some reason.

He's no Nate Bargatze. That dude is hilarious. Seeing him this summer

Stone Gossard you sonofabitch. This is awesome

Wow!
