for some unknown reason i still haven't seen this :(

nope, the lead guitar (solos) is so much louder than everything else that it devastates you in the Bowie mix in a good way. Iggy later mix tries to devastate you with pure loudness which only dilutes the effect overall after I already became super familiar with the album. also give me the earlier s***tier Iggy og rough mix over the '97 Iggy mix tbqh

ik i said it before but also don't like a few artistic decisions made for Iggy's later mix which undermine the mysteriousness of Gimme Danger and Penetration (quieter acoustic guitar and celeste coming in way earlier and louder, respectively)

might seem like a weird statement but although its one of the most powerful rock albums I don't think pure volume/loudness encapsulates its power, its not grindcore or something. still has a ton of subtler twisted mystery that is essential.

@Elric you ever (re-)digest the Bowie mix of Raw Power I sent you a while ago on here?

gotta love when i know im repeating something ive said like 10x already itt about something i stan. but gotta say it again anyway

I listen to stuff all day when I'm working so I've got heaps of time for it

i wish Fun House didnt grow off me slightly though still amazing ofc but not a 10/10

It’s better than their debut tho

Kelso

yeah but only because of We Will Fall

these days I'm close to taking the all the "normal" songs from s/t over those on Fun House tbh

Which Fun House songs keep it from being a 10/10?

not really any flaws like that but there might just be 1-2 absolute top tier ones on there for me nowadays, probably TV Eye and title track. still like a 9.5/10 im definitely splitting hairs

whereas on Raw Power every song besides Shake Appeal and I Need Somebody hit that top, top level

White Light never did much for me. I like the second self titled more.

Candy Says one of my favorites from them so it bumps that album up a bit. Also I’ve never grown tired or been bored by Pale Blue Eyes.

He gave a Weezer a positive review so he aye okay in my book

We Will Fall actually the reason I'd put the debut above Fun House

i swear i was so close to adding a comment in there saying inb4 aruji or someone praises it lol

both white light and vu are better than the first album but that’s not saying much

It's too early for this

Not yet

We will fall is clear filler and not in the same universe as anything off fun house

I shouldn't have to say this

This man needs to stop telling us what grew off him

I been a fan since All Falls Down what do you think

"not 10/10"
