RE: the best album? | from Geoff with a "G"Aug 17 2008 - 19:38

...this is getting quite silly, as I still have everything from Hearts of Palm onward on continuous rotation through my speakers and headphones... Many years on...

RE: the best album? | from ArhielantoJun 04 2008 - 15:24

To quote 'Office Space': "I celebrate the man's entire catalogue."

RE: the best album? | from OskarJan 11 2007 - 07:41

Hearts Of Palm,
Alas,
3 Sheets to the Wind,
The Lone Gunman,
Yhis way out,
year after year.

RE: the best album? | from alexDec 27 2006 - 16:30

three sheets to the wind is the album that blew my mind the most. actually, it's the album that made me write to jeff and tell him how big a fan i was. got me to play on levitate with him, so that would have to be my second favorite.

RE: the best album? | from roarvisDec 23 2006 - 09:58

Why is this board back?

Year After Year, This Way Out, We Were Young, People Like Us Should Be Stopped

RE: the best album? | from EdOct 13 2005 - 04:18

I love Year After Year

RE: the best album? | from az galOct 12 2005 - 08:59

RE: the best album? | from greenOct 10 2005 - 16:31

AWESOME. I'm glad it went smoothly. again, please let me know when the music is comin'. thanks.

RE: the best album? | from az galOct 10 2005 - 09:54

green you ROCK. i've been listening to it all weekend..

(just figured you deserved a public shout out :)

RE: the best album? | from KernSep 23 2005 - 03:20

Alas is still available at amazon.uk - I will have to import it too. Might get a little expensive, but not more than to get my hands on the Bayonet EP in Germany.

My favourite is Levitate. No doubt about that.

RE: the best album? | from greenSep 21 2005 - 08:42

yeah

RE: the best album? | from azchristina@hotmail.comSep 20 2005 - 14:16

really?

RE: the best album? | from greenSep 20 2005 - 13:34

hey I can help. yes no?

RE: the best album? | from az galAug 09 2005 - 09:49

i am so sad. i still have not been able to locate Alas.

RE: the best album? | from JR OlssonJul 27 2005 - 04:15

Alas is my favourite, then a tie between Levitate, Three sheets to the wind and Hearts of palm. After that Year after year then This way out.

RE: the best album? | from jason eisertJul 25 2005 - 22:19

a tie for first between Hearts of Palm and Three Sheets to the Wind, definitely...Levitate, Alas, This Way Out, Year After Year.

RE: the best album? | from jason eisertJul 25 2005 - 22:15

a tie between

Alas; Levitate; Hearts of Palm; Year After Year; Three Sheets...; This Way Out.

RE: the best album? | from ckJul 21 2005 - 06:39

This Way Out
Year After Year
Hearts of Palm
3 Sheets
We Were Young & Needed the Money
Levitate
Alas

RE: the best album? | from Alex NiedtJul 21 2005 - 01:20

I think my list would be...

Alas
Levitate
Three Sheets To The Wind
This Way Out
Hearts of Palm
Year After Year

RE: the best album? | from ronJul 20 2005 - 19:32

this is an impossible task, but here goes: my top idaho albums IN ORDER.
01. Alas; 02.) HOP; 03.) Levitate; 04.) 3 Sheets; 04.) This Way Out; 05.) We Were Young; 06.) YAY. I didn't consider the other EP's... not really sure why. maybe just to make it easier to decide???

RE: the best album? | from nopeyJul 20 2005 - 17:43

In the kingdom of the dwarves, I say nay, no, absolutely nope.

RE: the best album? | from nopeJul 20 2005 - 13:01

nope

RE: the best album? | from greenJul 20 2005 - 10:10

fireworks are also overrated.

RE: the best album? | from CFJul 20 2005 - 09:13

Yikes. I don't know why, but I really think Alas is overrated, when compared to HOP or even Year After Year. I started with Idaho's first release- so dark and beautiful; and then the continuation on TWO....If I had to pick, It would probaby be TWO,,,though I love 3 sheets, too....You're right D, this is too hard.

RE: the best album? | from eraserheadJul 20 2005 - 07:31

You know I keep going back to "We were young and needed the money"
I know the title really puts down the songs but I dig it much.

RE: the best album? | from greenJul 19 2005 - 19:50

TWO was the first album I've heard, but Three Sheets was the first album I bought (because it was the only album the record store had). that one brings a lot of memories with it.

HOP is great, but I didn't like it when I first heard it. it took a couple of months for me to appreciate it. I was still hooked on the sound of ALAS that when HOP came out, I didn't know what to think. same with Levitate. but that's what's cool about IDAHO to me; never the same thing twice.

RE: the best album? | from Geoff (with a 'G')Jul 19 2005 - 14:35

Hearts of palm has to be respected... Such a crazy mood - if I feel like listening to it, I usually end up in a strange place afterward. Very powerful.

I think levitate is often overlooked, though - such a smooth, natural progression. New stuff is quite obviously going to be fantastic...

3 sheets was what hooked me, though - and it has also stood the test of time...

RE: the best album? | from delucaJul 19 2005 - 12:18

three sheets to the wind and this way out are my favorites. totally blows my bawlz into outer space.

RE: the best album? | from adamJul 19 2005 - 08:01

gotta go with the sentimental favourite. This Way Out was my exposure to the band, and a revelation for me at the time...

RE: the best album? | from Alex NiedtJul 19 2005 - 07:45

"Alas" for sure. The entire thing just flows perfectly. I can't think of any weaknesses on the album, although a sprinkling of piano here and there would've been awesome. Mmmmmmmm...

RE: the best album? | from greenJul 18 2005 - 17:50

ALAS is my favorite. it's deep and sullen, but there's a playful vibe to it. to me, it sounds like everyone who helped with the album was having a lot of fun. I don't know...it sounds to me like the songs wrote themselves. that's an album I don't want to do without.

all of them are great, though. Jeff Martin is an extremely creative guy. can't wait to hear the new stuff.

RE: the best album? | from DDJul 18 2005 - 17:21

This is an impossible task..each is amazing and a favorite for different reasons. SOrry...I just can't do it. Too hard.

Alas | from ronJul 18 2005 - 14:37

just to keep it real, i think it's a toss up between Alas and HOP for idaho's best albums. right now, maybe because i'm on such an Alas kick, i think Alas is their best album. "leaves upon the water" is just a great song. your thoughts???
