Listening to Frames for the first time as a whole. I think so, anyway...Grooveshark has 7 tracks for it.

I like it. I'm sure it'll grow on me with subsequent listens.

Zantera · « **Reply #421 on:** May 20, 2011, 04:02:24 PM »

It has 8 songs, or 9 depending on which version you have, seeing as "Voorhees" is a bonus track. (or a B-side if you will)
So Grooveshark is still missing one then.

mizzl · « **Reply #422 on:** May 21, 2011, 10:12:16 AM »

Voorhees

Ornament/The Last Wrongs
Music For A Nurse
You Can't Keep A Bad Man Down
New Pin
Homage To A Shame
Mine Host
Heaven Alive
The Charm Offensive
Meredith
No Tomorrow

I'm the only one who likes You Can't Keep A Bad Man Down, huh? $:-\$

Oh and I like every song a lot... No Tomorrow's just ruined by a crappy first half, even though the second half would rank up with the best of their stuff on its own.

Zantera · « **Reply #424 on:** May 22, 2011, 03:09:31 PM »

You Can't Keep a Bad Man Down is fantastic, the only 'negative' thing I can say about it is that maybe it drags just a little bit.
Around the part where it kinda slows down like the song is about to end, but then continues for another minute or so, that minute could've been skipped PERHAPS.
I still really dig the song though.

WRONG.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #428 on:** May 23, 2011, 06:09:56 AM »

I think Frames has 8 tracks

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #429 on:** May 23, 2011, 07:24:59 AM »

I found out yesterday that Grooveshark has a "See More" feature when searching for songs, so it probably does have all 8 songs.

Crow · « **Reply #430 on:** May 23, 2011, 11:47:36 AM »

Maybe the track that was missing was Sleeping Dogs because Grooveshark knows how bad that one is in comparison to the rest.

It is definitely, just doesn't match any other song on Frames by far

Zantera · « **Reply #434 on:** May 23, 2011, 12:48:10 PM »

Sleeping Dogs is actually my 4th most scrobbled 'Size song on lastfm.
It's a really fantastic song that shouldn't be getting any hate whatsoever, simply amazing tune.

zxlkho · « **Reply #435 on:** May 23, 2011, 12:52:35 PM »

Yes but The Frame, Trail of Fire, Unfamiliar, Commemorative T-shirt, Savant, Only Twin, Old Friend and Voorhees are all better

I agree with the notion of Sleeping Dogs being a weak track. The vocals really don't work on that one.

Zantera · « **Reply #438 on:** May 23, 2011, 02:27:41 PM »

It's hard ranking some of the individual songs against each other, however I do feel like Sleeping Dogs is rather important for the flow and Frames as a whole.
It just works perfectly between AOFOTC's and The Frame, take it away and that fantastic dynamic would be gone.

I'm not saying it's one of their best songs, but Frames really wouldn't be the same without it.

You're actually very right, come to think of it. Old Friends into Sleeping Dogs into The Frame is pretty amazing

Ravenheart · « **Reply #440 on:** May 23, 2011, 04:31:05 PM »

I just listened to Self-Preserved for the first time. My first impression: pretty unremarkable, but I'll give it repeated listens to let it sink in.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #441 on:** May 23, 2011, 08:18:06 PM »

Oh, it was Voorhees that was missing, but the list wasn't the complete one...they have it all from Frames.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #442 on:** May 23, 2011, 08:44:24 PM »

Vorhees is a B-side. There's still 8 songs though, are you sure you weren't missing any?

Zantera · « **Reply #443 on:** May 24, 2011, 02:59:47 AM »

The only version of Frames that has Voorhees on it is the deluxe-version or whatever, but if you're listening to it on grooveshark then it probably has all the songs.

Ravenheart @ Fantastic album, pretty much the album that got me into the band, and I still love it for that reason.

Isn't it "Commemorative ____ T Shirt" ?

Think it's named that on the album but is also known as 9/11..

The Degenerate · « **Reply #448 on:** May 28, 2011, 06:09:25 AM »

it was Commemorative 9/11 T-Shirt, I guess they censored the title before they released it like they did with Build Us A Rocket... because they're PUSSIES.

Mike Vennart states that "Commemorative ____ T-Shirt" - originally entitled "Commemorative 9/11 T-Shirt" - doesn't have "anything to do with 9/11. I was sold a t-shirt by the singer of the Cardiacs. On the label it read 'For ages 9-11', and when he sold it to me he said "oh, here's one of our commemorative 9/11 teeshirts," so I got thinking about what sort of person would wear a 9/11 teeshirt. Someone who's not really looking to the future.[8]

This. It's still "Commemorative ____ T-Shirt" though, and should be called that.

I just call it 9/11 or Commemorative T-Shirt, don't really bother with the ____ or ...
