This one, I suppose? As for the DVD commentaries, I figured out at a point while listening that they must have been recorded in 2002 (or was it 2003?).
“Kick Out the Jams” is an MC5 song. “Spaceways” is probably Sun Ra’s “We Travel the Spaceways” which is already listed, and even though MP probably picked up “Walk On Guilded Splinters” from a Humble Pie live album, it is in fact a song by Dr. John.
to you for this thread, Juergen!
@Rune: That might have been Anneli Drecker dueting with Bent on The Golden Core, no? I know she did that at least at one occation during the Timmy tour back in ’94, lucky you if you were there.

Plus one part of the LLM suite, of course. A Hoof To The Head, is it? Oh, and Nature’s Way, the Spirit cover, is also sung by Snah.
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!
