A 10. One of the greatest albums.

[JohnM]

I’ve gone with the original release track listing rather than the version on Spotify with Back To School:

• Feiticeira
• Digital Bath
• Elite
• RX Queen
• Street Carp
• Teenager
• Knife Prty
• Korea
• Passenger
• Change (In The House Of Flies)
• Pink Maggit

[1101010]

Yeah always original tracklisting apart from It’s A Shame About Ray obviously

Good man, the correct decision.

[JohnM]

Next week’s album:

• Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells
• Spiritualized - Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space
• Patti Smith - Horses
• The Beatles - Revolver
• Robyn - Body Talk

[sine_wave]

It’s a 9 from me…absolute belter of an album, one of my all time favourites. Hard to vote on a song though, might have to give it a relisten shortly to do that.

[JohnM]

Leave it!

But it’s the best one*

Joking, don’t hurt me

[Steved]

Was going to go 9 but looking at that tracklist there’s just no faulting it, so 10 it is.

[1101010]

What a list!

Had to go Tubular Bells for the lols but I’m sure a good un will come from this

[JohnM]

I’m listening to the album (on Spotify) and I have to admit I enjoyed hearing it again. I’ll concede It has no place on the album though

[escutcheon]

The first tracklisting is the one and true tracklisting.

That being said, I adore the reissue artwork. The grey is good, but the reissue is just simply a classic cover.

[TKC]

Think it’s time for me to accept I am never going to like Deftones. Find a couple of songs good but they grate on me

[Epimer]

Given it a generous 3 because I’m in a good mood

[Steved]

Say, Epimer, what do you think of their guitar tone?

[Epimer]

Easy 10

[Epimer]

OUT OF A MILLION

[JohnM]

Thanks, I appreciate all votes and comments

[Caedus]

Shame it doesn’t have Head Up from Around the Fur on it otherwise it’d be the perfect LP…

I think i do actually prefer Around the Fur because of personal connection and all that but White Pony is next level really. 9 or a 10 - although don’t think i can quite reach for that 10. I still ike them today but they haven’t come close to White Pony since.

I think Change is probably my favourite track still, but mainly because the rest of it works better as a whole.
