Fair point about the career possibly stalling. And I find the sell-out claim a cheap shot to be honest. Do you remember in the Gillingham days when Brighton's general manager was an ex- music industry guy called Nick Rowe? I met him for a few beers one evening and we spoke about his time as the...

Certainly am seen them but in Hamburg next March.

Good question. I certainly won't argue if you were to say their most complete long player is Black album. And the more I think about all their roads led to the Black album. In fact all the arguments I have for MoP can also be applied to that as well. For me though, MoP was a huge statement to...

Good point. The three albums I mentioned above I have on vinyl. But to answer your question about which version I use I don't have a check list of items I need to satisfy myself with. Complete albums, in my mind, kind of creep up on you or find me unexpectedly. I don't sit down and ponder them...

Not necessarily. The backstory and the peripheral artistic statements, such as the artwork, do not necessarily need to be positive for a complete album. Plenty of bands have put out blank sleeves and if it fits then fine. But to me art is a hollistic experience. And to me many elements provide...

See my post above. I don't think you can say an album is complete without, at the very least, considering all elements of the art. And all the elements I state above affect how I receive and perceive an artistic statement....so they all play a part in my opinion. And if it's just about the...
