I think the back half is weaker than the front half but I do still love most of it, even Elvis Presley and America which a lot of people apparently hate.

It's in my top five too!
Title track is perfect - when I got the album I listened to it about 40 times in a row before I moved on to the rest
I love everything abut Unknown Caller, including those lyrics. Haha oh well.
It's nowhere near as consistent. However, my brother and I recently wrote up our top-ten lists for U2 songs and I have three from Unforgettable Fire on mine (title track, Bad, A Sort of Homecoming). When it's great it's peak U2.
Until the End of the World and Love Is Blindness are so good that it's dangerous for me to drive while listening to them.
I also love Zooropa a little bit more. It's a more intimate album for me.
Me too. I4H is incredibly consistent but I love when it goes experimental. Besser definitely has good reason to be cranky, because that shit is not only hilarious but astonishing.
You're right, you didn't. I was just semi-drunkenly musing
Well, my grandmas are also dead. And honestly, I see no reason to criticize my mom for loving Hamilton. It's an impressive piece of popular art that successfully incorporates a number of American musical genres. She's never been the sort of person that would hang out at the AV Club, even when she was young - she…
I recommended it here earlier and like you have listened to it multiple times. I also may be developing a slightly unhealthy fixation on Drew Tarver.
I work from home most of the time too, but my once or twice a week commute is 2 hours each way, so the brief period during which U Talkin' U2 To Me? came out every week was basically the highlight of my working life. Most of those eps were around two hours long and it made those commutes a dream. I was already in many…
I forgot about the Todd Glass ep. Him getting so angry at the idea of Scott showing up to one of his parties. I rewound that bit so many times. Thank you for reminding me for voting purposes.
Aw, my mom is one of those ladies. Though she certainly wouldn't pretend to know anything about rapping. But she adores it. She was going on and on about how much Charlie Rose loves Hamilton and I was like look at all of you elderly white people suddenly embracing "rap." I was actually surprised by how much of the…
I have regular long commutes and also listen to them when just puttering around the house but I still only have about 5 or 6 at any point that I'm paying close attention to.
Is it sad how eagerly I anticipate the CBB Best Ofs and the DLM 12 Guests of Christmas? It's an exhausting time of year and those eps bring me so much joy. I am a woman of simple pleasures.
You know John Leguizamo? You know…. John Leguizamo?!
Oh I forgot about the Orphan Black one. The dramatic monologues. Definitely top ten.
These are all great. Fuckin' Quardero. And I'd probably vote for Claudia O'Doherty even if she was just sitting there silently.
Almost Mandatory, the Intern Challenge. Also Gilbert Gottfried's ep really killed me.
