Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville

screamingskull · 09.18.2007, 11:25 AM

Listening to it for the first time today, and it's really good, i like it a lot.
Favourite songs so far are 'Glory', 'Explain it to me' and 'Shatter'.
(P.S. Thanks thanks to Derek (magicwheelmemory) for giving me this album)

Your thoughts?

i am also liking Aimee Mann at the moment. Anyone here like her?

i love that album.

screamingskull · 09.18.2007, 11:27 AM

are any of her other albums this good?

Everyneurotic · 09.18.2007, 11:30 AM

from what i hear, the one right after exile is pretty good too, then next one not so much and after that it's all rubbish. but i haven't heard most of them.

although, i have to say i really like that "why can't i" song from her first major label album.

Exile in Guyville, Whipsmart, are very very good albums. fuck and run, fuck and run

the newest opne is pop polished ca-ca, but soe people like that ca-ca.

True. I haven't heard those in a long time so i think i'll break them out. After that,she got real bland, slick production. Always loved her voice..her and Mary Timony have been my favorite chick singers for a long time now.

yes, have to clarify that the only commercial liz song i like is why can't i, and actually i was really surprised i liked it. but the rest i've heard are shite, like dumbed down avril lavigne.

Oh yeah, guyville is great and whipsmart pretty good too.
I also have whitechocolatespaceegg, which isn't up to much.

Rob Instigator · 09.18.2007, 01:49 PM

whitechocolatespaceegg has some good songs on it though

sonicl · 09.18.2007, 02:06 PM

Supernova (off whip smart) is one of the greatest pop songs of all time.

Do you have a turntable? If you do, I'll send you a copy, I have a spare. PM me.

Cantankerous · 09.18.2007, 03:31 PM

i always liked 6'1"
and that album cover is great

Torn Curtain · 09.18.2007, 05:05 PM

Well, I recently gave the record a listen and didn't see what the fuss was about

Bicorn Halfelven · 09.19.2007, 12:23 AM

Whip Smart is great.

I got rid of all my Liz Phair stuff over the years except for that... the reason being that I love "Supernova"... it's been one of my favorite songs since it came out, and takes me to a certain time and place in my younger years.

Good shit.
