The car is on fire
and there's no driver at the wheel.
And the sewers are muddied with a thousand lonely suicides.
And a dark wind blows.
The government is corrupt
and we're on so many drugs with the radio on
and the curtains drawn.
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
and the machine is bleeding to death.
The sun has fallen...

Are you kidding me!?! I buy anything Mac puts out the very first day it's in the stores. I like Slideling quite alot. I saw his solo gig here in L.A. a couple of months ago and I'm gonna go to a couple of the Bunnymen gigs in early November in the area. I am all about the fucking Bunnymen. I've been there since the beginning with them.
rubbersoul:
My favorite album tends to change. For years I thought it was Heaven Up Here, then I theorized that the more innocent, accessible and poppy songs of Crocodiles were most representative of peak Bunnymen. I have long believed that the high points of Ocean Rain, with their expansiveness and grandeur are probably the greatest work the group ever did, but the couple of clinker tracks on that album (Nocturnal Me, Yo-Yo Man) keep it from being the masterpiece it should have been. The classic singles on Porcupine (Back of Love, The Cutter) have always made it one of my faves, but overall, it is probably their most "difficult" album.
At this point, I would probably rank the Bunnymen/Mac/Electrafixion albums like this:
1) Heaven Up Here (5 stars)
2) Crocodiles (5 stars)
3) Ocean Rain (4.5 stars)
4) Candleland (4.5 stars)
5) Porcupine (4 stars)
6) Evergreen (4 stars)
7) What Are You Going To Do With Your Life? (4 stars)
8) The Grey Album (4 stars)
9) Burned (3.5 stars)
10) Slideling (3.5 stars)
11) Flowers (3.5 stars)
12) Mysterio (3 stars)
13) Reverberation (2.5 stars)
Basically, I think there is something to recommend every one of the albums above. I skipped over the live album, the box set and the two greatest hits albums (Songs to Learn and Sing, Ballyhoo). I would say that Mysterio and Reverberation are the only two that are spotty enough that I tend to skip over tracks, but even those albums have some great high points. I realize I'm a fan, but objectively, I believe that the Bunnymen's (and Mac's) body of work stands with the greatest in rock history. Not many groups or individuals have put out that many great albums and pretty much nobody has come back with such a string of high quality work after being broken up for nearly ten years. They are pretty much my Beatles. How do you rank the albums?

............. morning !
astrogirl3000:
agreed 
i am currently under construction
due to the fact that i have come to realize
that i am in need of change
my life right now is great on paper
but why not in life?
time to make some changes...
possibly drastic, such as a job change, not career change, just job change.
i remember feeling this way in 1987,
working at CHESS KING....
yes,...

i've realized after watching hours upon hours of Futurama....that I am a strange combination of Fry, Leela and Bender.

i wear a tie to work almost every day. it rocks.
when it gets warm outside, i like to wear dresses and no shoes. i have to wash my feet at night in the summer because most of the time, i'm shoeless.
bender is the best...

the time when milla jovovitch DOES give me the time of day
long restful nap in a pine box

Were there any errors on those CDs?
My main burner is really messing things up. Just tell me if there were and I'll redo them.
Thanks.
