Today's Active Lifestyles vs Exploded Drawing
 

I got Exploded Drawing on Vinyl yesterday and I've got to say I rocks really hard. I personally prefer it to Today's...
Anyway I'd like to hear some of your opinions of this.

there isnt any competition here

exploding drawing BLOWS Today's...

I love all Polvo up to and including Celebrate the New Dark Age. So, no...I don't agree with the opinions so far.

Then again, I do think that Cor-Crane Secret is the superior Polvo full-length. The songs all hang together better than Today's Active Lifestyles...and hold up after all these years better, too. I also love all the early 7" material above that 2nd album.

today's active lifestyles is thier masterpiece me thinks. cor crane is thier second best. i jsut love the swriling crashing guitars on active lifestyles, i really just fucking love the guitars on that album, i get emotional just thinking about them.

somewhere south of your borderline
get your father the orders
like an ancient explorer
they recognized your eyes
and you still don't know why!

Active Lifestyle is the only Polvo record I've heard. It kicks ass

Active Lifestyles is a million times better.

I can't choose !!!
I can't !!!!
Don't force me !!!



It depends...

I can't choose which is my favourite song between "Stinger(five wigs)" and " When will you die for the last time in my dreams", it's too hard.

5 wigs.

The harmonics.

for some reason i prefer late Polvo
does that make me a bad person?
mmmmm....

You mean "Shapes" ?

Well.... it's not so bad, but it sounds very soulful, like it wasthe end of the band.

shapes, exploded drawing, this eclipse
but also "celebrate...."

it's all good, but i really DIG late Polvo to the max, it's more subtle, less raw and hectic

Yeah, it' ALLLLLLLL good.
I love this band.

underrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrated!
nobody knows about polvo in France excepr me, you and SYRfox
and a couple more dudes i guess
so be it

You're right, they're so underrated here. they won't come in France during their reunion tour, I'm pretty sure.
American people doesn't know his chance, they have tons of good bands.

More Exploded Drawing love plz.

I'VE GOT LOADS! most def my favourite Polvo album.

Knew I could count on Slavo!

It's a close one but since Exploded Drawing is a double LP, some of the songs just aren't as perfect as everything on Actve Lifestyles. I did lose my voice when I saw them play Fast Canoe though.

i only know todays active lifestyle
but it is great
lazy comet is my ringtone

1. today's
2. celebrate
3. this eclipse
4. exploded
5. cor crane
6. can i ride ep

There was an excellent polvo rarities comp on soulseek. I got it but my burnt copy from 5 years ago is all skippy from a shitty cd-r brand I used back then, plus I wore it out. It has stuff from their splits with, like, erectus monotone or whoever that band was and some other rare things... also a very brief interview with ash bowie. It was only like 45 minutes.

The best thing on soulseek though, which I've never been able to fully get, there was a 4 disc (!) thinking fellers rarities thing... I managed to get disc 1 and some of disc 2 but could never get the other discs. But jesus.

If anyone ever wonders why soulseek is worth having...

I love that song.

It's one of the few songs that hasn't changed a bit live since their return but that's not something to frown upon, some of the newer versions of stuff off of Today's Active Lifestyles and all the EPs were excellent live.

I love every thing that povo has put out
every thing

There is no competition between recordings either. they all fucking rule.
