Well, old me tried and didnāt really get captured by any more recent albums! Iāve got opinions like jill hives is a good song, glad girls is annoying, etc etc. to revisit tooā¦ And Iām sure Iāve listened to and liked at least 3/4 of post-reunion albums, but never more than twice. Letās hope it changes this time!
Huge gap between the top three and the bottom five on that list right now, with Vampire sandwiched almost exactly in the middle.
Was originally some sort of fanclub-only release but got reissued later with some extra tracks. Not sure it counts as a proper āstudio albumā so donāt know whether weāre including it here or not?
I like it a lot, so yes!
But after UTBUTS, want to keep the classic run intact
Just realised I havenāt really heard much from Tonics for some reason. Iāve definitely heard āDayton, Ohioā and one or two others on there, but thatās it I reckon.
Looking forward to checking it out now
Dayton is a top 5 GBV track for me
Think Iāve only heard it once and that was few years ago now
Oh, last.fm tells me iāve listened to it twice (2017 and 2019)
Donāt remember much from it beyond a couple of tracks that have popped up elsewhere
After the two beefed up Alien Lanes tracks, the rest of the Tigerbomb EP isnāt very good tbhā¦aside from this absolutely glorious Tobin song. Summer pop bliss.
Fun fact: Doug Gillard makes his first appearance on the Tigerbomb EP, two years before he joined the band! He co-wrote / plays on one song!
And itās surprisingly shit!
Quite a few of the EPs around this time are very hit & miss, I reckon. Usually one absolute gem on each, but not a whole lot else bar one or two exceptions.
Do we reckon theyāll release 1,2 or more by the time weāre done?
Given how good the albums were I always expected the EPs to be all killer no filler but turns out itās where all the rejects went (with one or two bangers to make it worth putting out)
To be fair to Doug itās entirely Bobās fault that this is bad
getting my last listen in before album changeover
I only noticed that Bee Thousand ended up with a 9.89 rating
Pretty sure that wonāt be bettered, weāll see.

yeah that and K&C are a toss up for my 5th (Hunting Knife should be there, but always nice to rep a less known track rather than just the āhitsā)
