Floodland is pretty good alright

It's damn near perfect.

Even when the last track has faded out you still want more which is always the sign of a good album. How many of us here have bought albums over the years and been bored by the time it reaches the 4th or 5th song?

In the case of Death Magnetic, I went deaf after the 4th or 5th song

i'm lying, i'd never buy this overcompressed pile of junk

IZ.

Yeah! It`s a great album...but I think that "SGWBM" is way better....All the fine singles
compiled on a disc.....super!!

Dunno, can't afford them. Asda or Morrisons for me

Floodland? A fine album. Not one to skip from one track to another - must be played all the way through or not at all.

maybe the most true thing ever stated in Rock history.

It's been a week since I started this topic and here I am again (under the influence of two pints of Strongbow) and Flood 2 is playing - damn this song is fantastic!!!!

I'm bobbing my head like a mad man to it.

Maybe you should try Adam's Apple instead then. It's smoother.

I dread to think of the chaos after 2 pints of White Lightning.

I tried Diamond White once, nasty stuff.

I made my own 'edit' of Floodland ... I removed the original versions of 'Lucretia...' and 'This corrosion' and replaced them with the long versions from the CD singles, removed both 'Torch' and 'Colours' because I don't think they fit.

And when I acquired the full length version of 'Neverland', I modified my edit to include that too.

Oh, and I put a bit of 'Sandstorm' on at the start too, like in the 'Dominion' video.

So there you go...

I think my Sisters "best of" tape opens with Sandstorm/Dominion.

I'm not so sure about Colours not fitting. It's essentially a demo of Flood I isn't it?

Floodland is brilliant. The only track I don't quite like is 1959, the cheap synthesizer etc. makes it a kinda musical greetings card like thing. I don't think this was intended.

I love 1959, it's almost like it's the big build up to the epic This Corrosion.

Usually records i listen to don't have "duff" tracks on them. Floodland is no exception.

Artistically it's very very high in a very very long list. (Which is to be understood poetically, since i don't like thinking hierarchically).

Yes I know, so it's gotta be a real piano on the track too.

I had a 5.1 surround mix from a torrent file-cannae find the bugger now...

Um.. videos don't necessarily indicate what the actual instruments are.
In before anyone says "Yes, Patricia's playing in the videos"

and on dominion we don't hear doctor but gallop horses

In fairness, not even Eldritch is doing much of anything on the live Lucretia one

Poor bastard deserved a rest after recording the album all on his lonesome

Duh!

I would've liked to see Patricia playing dead over a Yamaha synthesizer instead.

This is interesting. I always found the keyboard sounds so cheap. It's almost like the midi files you hear when entering a Chinese restaurant homepage with Comic Sans Fonts saying HAPPY CHRISTMAS 2005 with santa animations.
