Don’t do that again! It took me about 10 minutes to write it correct in the browser!
I don’t think they have any overrated album, but I can try to give my rating of their main releases:
Maiden Voyage
Nah, the only good song was recorded better later (Blueberry)
Lobotomizer
I really don’t like this album much. I do love live versions of Hogwash (especially the Paradiso version) though.
Soothe/8 Soothing Songs
I listened to this album a lot in the 90’s. Lighthouse Girl & Step Inside is songs I frequently listen to.
Demon Box
The album I started with and its diversity is what makes it so great, from acoustic ballads to metal. One of the the albums I’ve listened to most. Modern Classic!!
Timothy’s Monster
This album got released only a few months after Demon Box made me the Psycho freak I still am. I’d made the playlist a bit different though. All of the pop songs on cd 1 and the epics on cd 2. The Wheel is probably my all time favorite song. Golden Core, Time to Skate are also “up there”… Modern Classic!!
The Tussler
Fun when it came out and damn hard to find! Still fun when I’m in the mood for some køntri. Great movie by the way!
Blissard
Hmmm. Motorpsycho with good (read: not lo-fi). I loved Sebadoh, Sonic Youth etc, but this one by MP? It was good enough, but I wasn’t thrilled. I put it away for quite some time and listened again; pretty decent, no more/no less. Then a break again, some months after the release; Wow!!! What a fucking great album! Still is!
Angels & Daemons
Starting with one ep a week (or was it month), then came the box… Sold the three eps and bought the box with the eps. Wow! What a monster! Epic! Ballads, rockers (hard and soft), then the absolutly perfect K9! They managed to make a new Demon Box, but perhaps better(!?). Imo the best production they’ve had too. Modern Classic!
Trust Us
They did it again! I’m lost for words! Modern classic!
Let Them Eat Cake
A new era. Lost some fans, gained even more new fans. I liked it a lot, but not their best.
Barracuda
It was nice to hear them rock again, but I lost interest in few weeks and put on Cake again.
Phanerothyme
I didn’t quite get this one. Liked some songs and got bored by other songs. Tok me some years to really appreciate this album. I guess it’s my least favorite of the “pop trilogy”, but I really think it’s a great album.
It’s a Love Cult
No matter what most psychonauts think, I love this album! Neither of the pop albums were instant hits in my hifi, but they’ve grown on me a lot and I still play them a lot! I had this stupid rule that Motorpsycho wasn’t really allowed to play these soft and really beautiful song, they should rock and be psychedelic, but why? Great music is great music!
In the Fishtank
Nice version of in the family, fun version of YoYo and Tristano is fantastic (after the toooo long intro). The rest is pretty boring in my book. Most overrated MP album? Maybe!?
Tussler 2
A nice comeback of the Tusslers, I played it a lot when it was fresh. Now I mostly browse quickly through it.
BH/BC
A great comeback from my heroes! They even rocked again! I played cd 1 over and over, never liked cd 2 (still don’t). The sound sucks though. Now I play it every now and then. Lots of good songs, but perhaps also the MP album with the most crappy songs (I really loathe Hyena!). @Supernaut: Slash on Beyond the Flood? Nah, more Dinosaur Jay imo!
Lucid
Wow! Long songs! I love long songs! Especially long MP songs! They’re back with a really great drummer! I still prefer Gebhard. Kenneth is more technical, but I think Geb had more groove! With Kenneth it’s a bit too much sometimes. LLM is not the album I play the most, but it’s a really great album. Maybe too much is happening to fast or something so I really have to be in the mood. I prefer the quieter, more psychedelic parts, but it’s one of the best albums (by any artist) in many years! Modern Classic? Maybe…
Quote:It so just happens that I’m a audiofreak, (and about that, all the albums except Blissard, the “pop”-albums and Barracuda has crap sound quality.imo Angels & Daemons is their best sounding album to date! To add to the albums you mentioned, theres nothing wrong with the sound on Trust Us and LLM either. Actually, of the post Blissard albums, the sound quality on BH/BC is the only one who sucks imo.
Back to topic:
I will buy the LP for collecting purpose and supporting the band, but will digitize or d/l it for listening purpose. I wear headphones many hours a day while walking around at home, work, in the garden etc, and want the new MP album to be part of it! Soundtrack to my autistic life
Quote:ah TV Eye. MP incorporated it once quite some years ago… Probably in Hogwash.Quote:Don’t think they’ve played it during Hogwash as far as I know. They did incorporate it in Black To Comm (MC5) very often though.

Quote:Evol said: I’m so much more excited for this album than Child of the Future!Why? We don’t know much about CotF, other than there are 7 songs on the thing and it was recorded by Steve Albini.
I might love it, but read somewhere that it’ll be a hard rocking album. I prefer them more psychedelic and experimental and less metal. The youtube clip otherdemon posted above, it might be the sound though, didn’t do anything for me. Not that I know it’ll appear on the album though…
ooooooohyeah!
I’m so much more excited for this album than Child of the Future!
I fear more Kenneth’s snik-metallifisering than I fear FRP’s snik-islamifisering!
Quote:Blissard also showed me for the first time the kind of musical influences MP (C.S.N/Lynyrd Skynyd)used in their songs,(quoted: mark de klerk)
I think that’s an interesting observation as I feel people often finds whatever they want to find in music. I played Blissard to british guy who had never heard about them before. He said he liked it, but thought it was very inspired by The Cure, I don’t hear that at all, but I hear a lot of Sonic Youth & Sebadoh, while Mark hears CSN/Lynyrd.
Like someone on this forum once said: Blissard is the best Sonic Youth album ever!
I started playing with my version of the Wheel right before I heard about the tribute vol 2. It was not originally intended for the tribute, but it inspired me to complete the song. BUT it don’t have to be included.
