When did 'Big Life' come out?

 

Wait, 'Big Life?' Isn't that their 1987 album?

Some of those are not even released yet.

[Geoff]

My first two are the same so far too, but rated 10% less. In fact, all the ones I've also rated that are on this list are 5-10% less.

92% sounds high, but 82% sounds low

 

Prob somewhere in the middle.

[Gotthardline]

Its gonna be hard for anything to top the confess album for me

Flawless in every way imo

[PeterS]

Span it once today and didn't grab me like the Tokyo Motor Fist. Will have to give it another go.

Yeah, I can see TMF in 80-85% range of values, something less for Eclipse.

Btw, where's your rating of the best 2017 album (Sanctuary's Inception)?

[Nightrain]

Eclipse is #1 so far, followed by Lionville, TMF, and Confess

[Geoff]

Eclipse is #1 so far, followed by Lionville, TMF, and Confess

 

Your top 4 are correct, but my order is slightly different. As much as I didn't expect it, I agree Eclipse is the best album so far, followed by TMF, Confess & Lionville.

Ha ha...the rest of that Place Vendome must be flawless cos those first few songs are about 8.5%

[Geoff]

Jeez there's a lot of 90%+ for you dudes. Either y'all have heard your best albums of the year already, or you're going to have about 20 albums rated in the mid to late 90's by the end of the year.

Falling Star (my top favorite on the album), Yesterday is Gone and Helen round out the album very nicely

Yesterday Is Gone could have been on the debut and my favorite of the album. Elsewhere are Falling Star, Light Before The Dark, Close To The Sun, Welcome To The Edge(odd versus,but chorus is good), and Across The Times.

Brother Firetribe climbs over Lionville to my 5th position:

 

Tokyo Motor Fist

Eclipse

One Desire

Jim Jidhed

Brother Firetribe

[PeterS]

Coming to the end of the first quarter and I think this may be the best quarter in a long long long time.

Just listening to the One Desire. Right on the money this one as well. I'd throw 'The murder of my sweet' into the mix

 

Only listened to the Brother Firetribe once but also seemed very good.
