The 3rd Quarterly CD Ranking List
Is that a decent sentence? I think not.
Ok, I've decided to exclude the eight CDs that I recently purchased on the grounds that I have not been able to properly compare them to others. The other 80+ CDs in my stack and the 40 or so in the bin are fighting for the top 50 spots...
The Rankings [Band - Album (06.01 Rank) (Comment, if applicable)]
1. The Appleseed Cast - Mare Vitalis (2) (Finally where it should be...)
2. Mineral - The Power of Failing (3)
3. Christie Front Drive - Christie Front Drive (25!)
4. The Cure - Disintergration (1)
5. The Appleseed Cast - Low Level Owl Volume I (4)
6. Mogwai - Happy Songs For Happy People (5)
7. Strike Anywhere - Change Is A Sound (8) (Political punk-rock the way it should be done...Green Day might learn a few things from these guys...or, more likely, they'll just keep sucking)
8. Explosions In The Sky - How Strange, Innocence (21) (It's being re-issued Oct. 11!)
9. The Appleseed Cast - Two Conversations (-)
10. Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary (9)
11. Muse - Absolution (-)
12. Texas Is The Reason - Do You Know Who You Are? (-)

18. The Appleseed Cast - The End of The Ring Wars (15)
19. At The Drive-In - Relationship of Command (7)
20. The Appleseed Cast - Low Level Owl Volume II (20)
