    Good stuff. Nico has a nice little CD-ROM Extra too.

    Ok, now I know you've been on this board/the old one forever...& I know I've constantly tried to beat into everyones heads for the last however many years how awesome they are...did you finally see the error of you ways, & at least ask for the album, I hope?

    Better to discover the magic later than never, I guess. :p

    i love the whole album but soak the sin, tones of home, no rain, sleepyhouse and change must be the highlights for me

    I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Soup is the better album out of the two studio albums.

    Both are fantastic, but I lean towards that one more.

    Although, I love both of their studio albums dearly, I have to agree that Soup is better... only because 2 out of my 3 favourite songs are on that album.

    Top 3 favourite BM songs (these are mine, what are yours?)

    1. St Andrews Fall
    2. Skinned
    3. Sleepyhouse ( a great many years ago i made a sign declaring my bedroom as the sleepyhouse, and it still exists and is hanging on my wall...i am a loser, i know)

    sweet cheers,

    I have to disagree. I love Soup but the first album is the best for me.

    Melonheads Unite! lol.

    ...I stand by the self-titled being slightly the better of the 2...while both albums have more than their share of amazing songs, & are quite different styles, I think overall (start to finish) ST is a more solid listen.

    Picking favorites??? I'd name at least 1/2...but I'll refrain...

    Walk
    Sleepyhouse
    Soup (this one not making the album still boggles my mind to this day, easily one of their best)
    Mouthful of Cavities
    Time
    Change
    I Wonder
    St. Andrew's Fall
    Toes Across the Floor
    Deserted...
