Your right there, I really think Experimental Jet Set could have been saved by a Lee track, some of his beautiful lyrics to balance out Thurston's bizarre foray into brainless neandathol (its midnight, i'm beyond caring about spelling)lyricism; lets not forget Self-Obsessed "pwarty pwarty pwarty, party all the time!". They've never needed Lee more.

bad moon rising had no lee tracks and that is their best (or second best following sister) album. CIS also had no lee songs.
so i belive that you are mistaken sir

Most SY albums are improved by a Lee track. Daydream Nation wouldn't have been as good without the 3 Lee tracks. Experimental Jet Set... would have been improved by a Lee track.
Anyway, SY have still done amazing albums without Lee tracks - Bad Moon Rising, Confusion Is Sex.

Agreed, ATL is an alright album, though is massively overrated by fans.

DDN has 3 Lee tracks. Enough said.

Dirty would have been 1,000 times better if they had used "Genetic" instead of "Nic Fit", no offense to nicfit.

Genetic is different from everything else on the album . It's a great Lee song, so I guess that's why I think it should have been included.

dirty is very versatile, there's not a sound, it's tons of sounds; so genetic would have fitted anyway.

Yeah, if it wasn't for that Lee track it probably would've been an EP.

No, they could name a track 'Thuston Is Free' and have lyrics written and sung by Kim, doesn't make it a Thurston track does it?
