H To He, Who Am The Only One.
So very close with Pawn Hearts, but just now im in the mood for the more mellow melodic H To He Edited by tamijo - November 18 2012 at 05:53 |

They may have a similar sound at times, but the compositions of Pawn Hearts are overall too dissonant and disorderly. There's too much shrieking and howling. |

The magnificent Godbluff, although Still Life and World Record (sadly maligned by many) aren't too far behind. I vastly prefer their 1975-1976 period to the other stuff.
I don't think they're that similar. Nothing on H to He gets as blatantly noisy and discordant as "Lemmings", and even that album's exercise in patchwork songwriting ("Pioneers over C") doesn't hold a candle to the structural mess that is "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers". "Man-Erg" could have been on H to He though, I give you that. My point is: Even though the albums share obvious similarities, they're different enough that I can easily see somebody liking one and not the other. I too prefer H to He to Pawn Hearts for reasons I partially outlined above. And even if they were extremely similar, that still doesn't mean much. I like A Trick of the Trail a lot more than Wind & Wuthering, for example, because I happen to like most of the songs on the former and dislike most of the songs on the latter. |

I would have voted Godbluff second, by the way.

Yeah, it's been a while for a VDGG album poll, hasn't it? I remember making one a while back, but that must have been more than a year ago now. Great to see another one up and running.
My preference usually switches between Godbluff and Still Life. Every time I listen to the respected other my opinion changes, but then I'll put on the other one and it'll change again. In the long run though, Godbluff has probably kept the most fire power, and most plays! |
