Confess your BoC sins - what tracks do you always skip?

Tue Jan 16, 2024 6:56 pm

I always skip forward on happy cycling to the end bit
i've never listened to Zoetrope on its entirety. i can't stomach it. :x
and i usually skip the ambient tracks on TH... Uritual, i'm so sick of that track!!

If you pass on Sundown, I have NO time for you North!! :x

I am not a massive fan of Smokes Quantity on MhtRtC, so I often feel like skipping. Seems a much too dirty and grime smeared track for it's inclusion, and...... it's quite depressing honestly. I suit it better to the Twoism mini-album's context.

^same here on a plain listen

In the Annexe is one I could think of, for whatever reason I never find much in that one
Sixtyniner is another one
Now this is definitely gonna raise some eyebrows........ Peacock Tail. The latter portion of the track is amazing but it takes a second for it to build. Sometimes I just get tired of waiting and just move on to the next one in the shuffle

"I Love U" - It's too fucking loud!

"Farewell Fire" - It's too fucking quiet!

Uritual, Jacquard Causeway, Slow this Bird Down, & The Odd Nosdam Remix. I feel bad skipping anything on Geogaddi cuz the whole thing flows so well imo

That's clearly besides the point, Besides anti psychotics take a while to kick in.

But it's essentially the same thread, Your least favourite tracks and what tracks do you always skip. Same thing.

To be nitpicky, it is not essentially the same thread in my eyes. As you challenged assorting an 8-track EP of your least favourite tracks of Old Tunes/OTV2/R35TT specifically, which in-of itself was a secondary thread idea to making a 14 track compilation of your favourites.

This topic however is for what you think is skippable throughout BoC's discography (I presume studio and unreleased by the replies). There's also a two day difference in creation.
It is a much broader premise. There is no challenge, it's lax.

The only defining similarity I see between your thread and this one is least-favouritism.

There's no need for that.

And hey, all of these discussions taking place are much better than the General New Release Speculation Topic being bumped just for posting proverbial bum-fluff. :D

Also the thread is still there, it's not going anywhere, there is plenty of goodwill here for you to receive more replies.

Well I'll have to say "The way you show" How this made it on a compilation is beyond me considering the high standard of the rest of the old tunes.

I'm saying that a lot of TH gets skipped, It's great at the start then gets a bit samey and the vignettes are just so empty

And sorry for being a luminous dick

yeah.. i think TH is kinda intended to feel 'empty', i really don't think that was a good decision musically wise

all is good mate :)
