I’m still not reading this thread but I put Sumday LP on the other day and damn The Warming Sun is so lovely.

Anybody else get into them after they split up initially? Think I only heard them cos of a Charlie Brooker thing and seeing UTWF got like 9.7 from Pitchfork so I blind bought the CD off eBay.

I agree, it’s a little too long. It starts off really strongly but sags a bit in the middle, then picks up again. Campershell Dreams is my favourite from that record:

I think overall the album just misses the humour of their best records, to cut through the mournfulness a bit.

Only really familiar with Last Place and Jason’s solo records which I both really like. Should probably check out The Sophtware Slump, shouldn’t I?

Always find Grandaddy pleasant when I put them on but have only done so recently because of the hgagr/hgiir threads. Should really listen better to them instead of having them as background too, feel like I could get into it a lot. The fuzzy guitar towards the back end of Sumday was really up my street.

Think I’ll abstain on this one due to an ill-informed and premature opinion

@Bamnan what are your 2 playlist picks please?

how does this work again, you take that and the top rated track from the singles poll?

What score will we be happy with then, Grandaddy fans?

Hoping for 4+, expecting 3.4

Somewhere in between is my guess.

A Grandaddy listening club would be good imo.

With all the EPs and that?

Aye why not.
Or if not start with albums but include Todd Zilla and maybe Jason’s solo albums
