Most overrated, hmm… I’m tempted to say Trust Us to stir things up a little, but I wouldn’t really mean it. Do the Tussler albums count? Because if they do, I’d say the second one from 2004 was a little overrated back then. We know, in retrospect, that MP at the time was a band who had lost direction and needed to find themselves again. It’s pretty ironic then, that they would shake loose by making an album where they put a lot of effort into making almost every song sound as it was conceived and played by another specific band or artist. The first Tussler album wasn’t perfect, but that may just be the reason why it’s so much more charming and sounds like a heart child more than a brainchild as opposed to Tussler 2. (Oh well, someone surely pointed this out five years ago, but I’ve always been kinda slow.)
And yeah, much of Love Cult is quite dreadful, I can barely listen to that album anymore. I do think that the full version of Serpentine is the highlight by far, though. Nyah to you, stalemate.
I hardly count Lobotomizer in this discussion because it’s their debut album and because everything (playing, songwriting, production) had improved so greatly by the time of the next release that comparison feels almost unfair. So, choosing the worst album among the rest: It’s A Love Cult, blah.
My band’s latest release was on a floppy disc, and that was just last year. Had that been Motorpsycho, I figure absolutely EVERYBODY would’ve been pissed off to some extent.
I don’t necessarily agree with you everything you say, stalemate, but you’re making some good points – sometimes in a highly entertaining way, too. Kudos!
“I don’t care so much for the newer stuff, I liked the old stuff better”. Hehehe.
Well, but now you’ve already done it and it should be a contender like everything else! I for one would love to see Akane’s version of The Nerve Tattoo on the album, too. That was something she recorded years ago, not meant for any tribute album either.
Akane, are you reading this?
Someone would have come up with it sooner or later anyway, but what I had in mind when I suggested the idea of a “vol. 2” in the first place, was that maybe some people would have a go at all the great material MP have released AFTER the first tribute album. Isn’t it a tad bit sad for a tribute album – to a band that’s alive and kicking – that everybody’s still focusing on the era up to 1998?
