For me Cult of Ray is a fine album, although, everyone I know seems to overlook it. For me it's a bridge between his early stuff and his early Catholics stuff. "You ain't me " is awesome, as are the two instrumentals. Also the line up is pretty much early catholics. I thought BLD and DW were both solid, and would have to say my least favourite album is SMYT, which other people seem to love. It's a funny old world, but if we all agreed, then what would there be to talk about? Nice to talk to you people anyway.
PS- can't believe no COR songs were on -the best of- podcast |

Hi, yingguoguizi. You're right about "The Cult of Ray." It's indeed a bridge. I think my favorite one-two Frank Black punch is at the end of that album -- the title track followed by "The Last Stand of Shazeb Andleeb."
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

Well, the rythm is so slow I can't get the melody! I just can't hear it! That depends on your own rythm as a human being I guess. When FB&theC went out, all those mid-tempos were way too slow for me: the only thing I liked was the punk intro of all my ghosts! I start to like the all album now that I'm a bit older and slowler. But The Real El Rey, give me some more years. |

Basically I agree Denis, especially about El Rey, but then again it is a 15 track abridgement. My own early 22 track car version also had to have Dog Sleep and Dirty Old Town, and was otherwise less discriminating.

Or, as I like to say, Heaven wouldn't be worth talking about if there weren't a little bit of Hell in it.

Eh? That would make more sense to me if it said:
Heaven WOULDN'T be worth talking about if there weren't a little bit of Hell in it.
or
Heaven would be worth talking about if there WERE a little bit of Hell in it.

Thanks cl. That's what I meant to say. I was being a stupid, dammit.
I'm gonna fix it now, cuz I'm fond of that statement. I made somebody laugh with that once. Fuk.
