i think notorious was probably musically a better album than 7.
I don't think much of anything made when warren was an official member of the band was good. He is just such a wack job and gave the band many an embarrassing moment. Plus ... Sorry I just don't care for his guitaring style. I prefer Andy's ... but I will say I think Dom Brown has a good ... rich dense style too.
Yup, in the end it is all personal taste. My personal taste is Liberty has some good moments (not great), Medazzaland is just bad, pop trash is the worst, and the wedding album has some nice moments (Ordinary world being the best song), and astronaut was a nice attempt... at the very least it was music instead of everything being programmed and over processed in a studio. Just my opinion...
I think perhaps I prefer the earlier attempts was because it was my first real favourite band and music. It has the nostalgic appeal to me... it has such good memories attached to it. This band was instrumental in introducing me to other musicians and musical styles to enjoy. It also introduced me to falling in love with the UK. I think that music really earmarks many important parts of our lives and it becomes the theme for an experience we went through. I think for most of us that is where our strong connection to music comes from... again it's just my opinion/feeling.
