Atmosphere Appreciation

Postby CrashBand » Oct 19th, '12, 12:18

I saw them at a concert earlier this year when I hadn't heard a song from them.

Was blown away by how good they were.

What are people's favourite songs and albums?

My album would have to be When Life Gives You Lemons, where I can listen to it's entirety pretty damn easily. Jesus christ it's a good album.

I would go as far as saying Slug's storytelling is unmatched and the best in hip hop.

Plus, how good is this album cover?

Such a great juxtapose.

Like Em, it's pretty hard to name Atmosphere's best songs, as there's so many.

I agree with everything you've said. Lemons is a top 5 album of all time for me and the rest of their discography is amazing. The only album I haven't listened to that much is YCIHMFWH. I have no idea because I heard it's great, I just haven't. And yeah, his story telling skills are the best of any rapper by far imo.

And your top 5 from lemons?

Top 5 from Lemons would be really hard because like every song but 2 is a classic but I would go with

1. Yesterday
2. Painting
3. The Waitress
4. Me
5. Your glasshouse/wild wild horses

My top 5 I would replace 2 of those with Always Coming Back Home To You and either GodLovesUgly or Last To Say.

Frighteningly similar top picks.

I also love the acoustic version of Not Another Day (perhaps seeing it live is why I rate it so highly). And Sunshine would probably make my top 5. (even though I'd reluctantly have to replace a song from Lemons).

The only songs on Lemons that I would potentially skip are 'Can't Break', 'Shoulda Known' and 'Skinny'. Although, I think 'Can't Break' is the only average song on the album.

I liked Lemons but God Loves Ugly is my favorite.

I've stated my favourite songs and albums by them a thousand times so this time I'll just stick with "I love this group."

I love atmosphere, even though I only heard of him last year Slug is probably my favorite rapper ever.
My favorite album is a tie between God loves ugly and Seven travels and my top 5 would be something like:

Sunshine
Became
Peyote
Not Another Day
Hair
Ku53v
Soldier

I actually like all three of those songs. The only song I ever skip is You. The chorus is so annoying I can't handle it. I think Can't Break is a good song because the chorus is awesome although I've listened to the song about 30 times and I still have no idea what it's about lmao :facepalm
