Rickets is a pretty easy choice for me to start.

Like White Pony and the self-titled, pretty much everything on this record is either really good or great. Rickets is my least favourite song but I still love it.

Lhabia, go.
Never been in love with this track.

MOS will win, it's obvious.

I voted dai the flu personally. it's a decent song, but the verses just don't resonate with me and the chorus is just alright. favorite part is the bridge/outro, and that ending where it melts into headup

I'm not good at English, what do you guys mean by the bridge?
For example, in Dai the Flu is this part "why so surprised, I'm right here going off, going on" what you call the bridge?

This album has a few songs that absolutely rule: MOS, ATF, BQAD, DTF, and MX. I give props to Mascara because it was really experimental for them, and experimentation is always important for musicians, but that song is a little on the boring side. You can tell with the rest of the tracks that this album was written very quickly and without a lot of thought put into it. This album marks the unfortunate beginning of the band rehashing and re/overusing certain sounds, a lot of which is evident on the tracks I didn't mention thus far (and even a little bit on the ones I did).

But those five tracks are god damned stellar. Solid 4.5/5 album.

Rickets is one of my favorite tracks from ATF...

I went with Mascara.

Outside of Damone, I can't do this one. I legitimately love every song. It's the first album I got into.

Edit: I see I'm not the only one.

You guys are nuts.

Damone is amazing.
This whole album is amazing.

I will not vote.

Three days for a round is too much, this elimination would take longer than a month

95% of people vote in the first 24 hours anyway.

This album shouldn't be voted on anyways.

I agree with "The Cyndicate" even though he has a Johnny Davis pic, jk, kind of. This album shouldn't be voted on, album is straight up flawless.

If White Pony is being voted on then this should be as well.

Well, it made me pick a default avatar and I happen to know him personally, so I picked it.

What they have turned into as a band is sickening.

Did you just start listening at White Pony?

The promo video for White Pony was pretty damn cool, but that's as flawless as it gets.

Around the Fur is their peak.
It's just always been the the best full album.

Can't vote perfection.

Post by: Cullision on Jun 03, 2016, 05:49 AM
It's also this boards 3rd favorite album. I love ATF, but it isn't perfect. Rickets wouldn't have been so easily voted off if it was.

This album was amazing when it first came out, when I was like 15. It still largely holds up, but there are a few tracks that when you listen to them with any sort of a scrutinizing ear today, show some laziness and immaturity on the part of the band. It's not a perfect album, but it's still a damn good one.

Abe's drumming alone makes rickets untouchable in my opinion.

A scrutinizing ear?
You mean, people that go online and try to pick things apart that they have never done themselves?
