My ranking keeps changing as I listen more to NYKOP. I'm trying to be objective here...if I were to just rank them without thinking about it NYKOP would probably be first, just because I'm loving it all so much right now
1. Bleed Like Me--I feel like this album has been getting a lot of hate lately; maybe that hate has been around since its release, but I don't for the life of me recall fans hating on it so much as it seems they are now. I know it's not an outright *favorite* amongst even the hardcorest (I think I just made up a word!) of us, but it's difficult for me to find any faults with it. I've been a fan since 1995, but for some reason this album just really connects with me so much more so than the others. It also just so happens to contain a whole slew of what I consider to be classic G songs: Bad Boyfriend, Run Baby Run, Why Do You Love Me, Bleed Like Me, Metal Heart, Sex is Not the Enemy, Happy Home.
2. Version 2.0--See above comment "it's hard for me to find any faults with it." I guess it isn't #1 with me just for no other reason than I like BLM more. But this is the album that solidified my love for the band back when I was first entering high school and going through a really awkward stage of my life. This is why I love the band: they've been with me since I was about 12, and have helped me through too many rough patches to count.
3. Not Your Kind of People--I think once it doesn't feel so new to me anymore, this album will settle into a solid 3rd on my list. Right now it's kinda close to all I listen to and I'm loving it. It did take some time, though, before I completely warmed up to it. Even songs other fans have liked from the get-go (Control, Sugar) took time with me, but now I love them just as much as the early stuff. I think this is a great album.
4. Garbage--Such a good start, and it only misses out because the band's later work is so fantastic. I can't believe this was released coming close now to 20 years ago as it still feels current.
5. beautifulgarbage--Eh. If there was ever a low point in the band's career, it's this era as a whole. I liked the album, but I lost a lot of interest in Garbage with this record. It didn't feel like the band I grew up listening to anymore. I was still a fan, and still went to their shows, bought up all the singles and stuff, but it just wasn't the same. Come to think of it, this album might be the reason I like BLM so much: because BLM was such a return to true Garbage form that we hadn't had since 1998-1999. Still, it has some great music, even some staples in the band's catalogue, like Cherry Lips and Shut Your Mouth...all time favorites.
