[tomEisenbraun]

Everybody knows they finally got it right with Z.

[Chico]

Nope.  The jury is still out on Z.  Lets run this thread again in 2010.

[tomEisenbraun]

No, they finally got it right on Z. Tracy's opinion is wrong.

[ycartrob]

I'm pretty sure I am right. At Dawn is their best album.

[MMJ_fanatic]

fuck Flava Flav and his lame ass show

[tomEisenbraun]

Hey. Keep it to topic, lame-ass.

[brkndwnbus]

At Dawn def my fave, hands down.

I'm pretty sure I am right. At Dawn is their best album.

[TEO]

Z

[Angry Ewok]

I enjoy At Dawn very much.


^{...but it isn't the best.}

[aMD]

difficult to say, so I won't.

[tbone]

it is

it is?

no...

it DEFINITELY is!

1.  At Dawn - the bestestestest
2.  It Still moves - the completestestest
3.  TF - the originalistististist
4.  Z - the most differentestestestest

Z is not a completely great record to me... it gets weird for me at track 4.

4.  What a wonderful man - my least favorite mmj song ever.  childish and annoying to me!... mmj's version of "shiny happy people".... that is just my thoughts, i know some of you guys love this track, but it just doesn't resonate with me.
5.  Off the record - not a bad track, a bit different yet that riff sounds all too familiar.
6.  Into the woods - the weirdest song ever.  sorry, but i can't get past the "a kitten on fire, a baby in a blender" line... very odd outro too... it's annoying and another least favorite for me.

To me, a perfect record is one that "flows" from one track to the next.  You don't have to skip any tracks... Unfortunately, i have to skip past tracks 4 and 6, as they don't agree with me at all.  Off the record is cool once in a while, and they crushed it live.

Outside of these 3 tracks - Z is PERFECT to me... i LOVE everything else!!!

Wordless, it beats, gideon, anytime, lay low, knot, dondante are some of my all time mmj faves....

You people are weird...  or maybe I am...

4. What a wonderful man - Probably tied for best jacket song ever (tied with about 5 other tracks).  I can see the childish and annoying...  but somehow they make it work in the most rockin' "big star" kinda way.
5. Yeah.  but somehow this works too.
6. Yeah.  you are right, but another favorite for me.  

Of course, I think they could cover "Right said Fred" and I would eat it up.

So, as I stated before in one of these silly threads, "At Dawn" may be the best MMJ album ever...  But it is still too early to tell if "Z" won't overtake it at some point.  I need another 2-300 listens to be sure.

I have yet to hear a song i don't like. except maybe a few from ch 1 & 2.

[Angry Ewok]

I've realized that songs of MMJ that I'm not totally hot for, eventually become favorites on the 'repeat' at some point or another... At work, I'll play an album without the ability to skip tracks (usually juggling ink pens and trying to keep from dropping positives), and in doing so realize that I actually kinda like one or two more than I thought.

Nashville to Kentucky, for example.

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

well, that's nice.  everyone has a favorite-your favorite car, your favorite mustache, your favorite orgasm-they're all pretty individual things.  while AD is pretty goddamn sexy, i'd say it's up to individual interpretation as to what one considers "the best".

[midwesterner]

I agree At Dawn is definetly the best.

[Loaded_Question]

Why must we label with the word "best?" Can't we agree that My Morning Jacket has put out a wealth of good music? (By the way, if we must use the word best, it isn't Z).
