  Not a big fan of that track. Amazing album though.

  - I too...
    
    ...am no big fan of 15 Step, but like the album.
    
    But oh boy...House of Cards? How can that possibly be the downer for anyone who likes that album? So beautiful.
    
    Actually, it's pretty cool that that difference happens...

    - ah 15 step is awesome!
      
      i would have to say nude (awaits blasting) it weirds me out a bit when i hear it
      
      Vian | 16 Jul '08, 18:30 | Reply
      - yeah
        
        i can appreciate Nude as a song in its own right, but it doesn't fit the rest of In Rainbows at all. which is weird because that's the reason they gave for it not being on an earlier album...

    If Reckoner was to disappear that would be my track of the album.

In Limbo - Kid A

Touched - Loveless
Venus in Furs - The Velvet Underground & Nico

- house of cards
  
  is my least favourite, although i quite like, it's too earnest or something. love 15 step, so creative.
  valet parking and crazy beat also my least favourites.
  arc of time on bright eyes digital ash is grating the way he sings "die, die, die". great album, though.

- None are particularly BAD tracks, just poor relations on their albums really
  
  Jeff Buckley- Grace
  Corpus Christi Carol
  
  Idlewild- 100 Broken Windows
  The Bronze Medal
  
  Frightened Rabbit- Midnight Organ Fight
  Keep Yourself Warm
  
  McLusky- The Difference Between Me And You Is That I'm Not On Fire
  Lucky Jim
  
  Pulp- Different Class
  I Spy

  - Bronze Medal's ace.
    
    I'd pick Rusty off that album.

    - I don't dislike Bronze Medal to be fair
      
      But i prefer Rusty, just.
      
      Blind_Pilot | 16 Jul '08, 18:34 | Reply
      - Rusty is probably one of my favorite tracks
        
        I'd probably say I Don't Have the Map is the weakest song on the album. Not at all bad but not as awesome as the others.
        
        Annoying_person | 16 Jul '08, 18:53 | Reply
  - I Spy ?!!!!?
    
    That's the best track on Different Class.
    I'd lose Bar Italia instead.

    - It was between the two actually
      
      But I Spy just really irritates me in parts for some reason. Still love the album, and it hardly ruins it for me or anything.

okay

No Age - Nouns
Track : Keechie

Muse - Absolution
Track : Sing For Absolution

Battles - Mirrored
Track : Atlas

Fuck Buttons - Street Horrrsing
Track : Ribs Out

I dont particularly hate any of the songs in question, I just feel they're not as strong as other tracks on that album.

Good call on Crazy Beat too, that song was a disaster.

    I dont hate any of the tracks.
    
    Atlas was the song that made me want to hear the album at first, and after listening to it I realised that Battles were really capable of doing much better things.
    
    Ddiamondd, Leyendecker, Tij and Rainbow are all vastly superior.
    
    I do think Atlas is okay though.

    British Sea Power - Open Season: To Get To Sleep
    
    Although to be honest, these aren't even my favourite albums...I just think these tracks shouldn't have made the cut on the above. I tend to like all the songs on my favourite albums :\

The Smiths - Meat is Murder
Track: Meat is Murder

I think I only listened to that track the first few times I stuck that particular album on. If I want to listen to bovine screams, Ill attend the opening of a new Primark.

Who Do You Think? off "Our Love To Admire"

In form it is supreme pop though.
