    The only Owen album recorded with a full band in a studio and not just Mike by himself at home.

    Mike is a genius. You think it can't get any better, and it always does.

      I do Percieve is the best Owen album IMO, or No Good for No One Now, although the more I listen to The King of Whys the more I think it's a contender for his best album. Definately the one of his most ecclectic/best produced albums and the songwriting's consistantly good (I love At Home with Owen, but always skip Femme Fatale).

    • @jayse2811

      honestly each album is kinda varied enough that they all stand. No Good For No One Now is prime Owen for, yknow, break-up shit. tracks on New Leaves are beautiful glimpses into a nice relationship. Ghost Town has some valuable and poetic insights on being a father, etc. Like, I hate to choose a "best" Owen album, nor do I agree with any kind of gold standard because I don't want there to be a standard with Owen. and i highly disagree that they're overproduced and underdeveloped, to say that would be disrespectful to Mike.
      face it - writing an I Do Perceive or an At Home With over and over for more than a decade would be boring. Mike's mixed it up a bit, and whether you like the new albums or not is entirely up to your own opinion, not Mike - because whether you realize it or not, it's still Mike and it's still his "soul".

      Surprised nobody mentioned L’Ami du Peuple in this thread. I thought that album was super ground breaking sonically.

    Wow, very impressed. I knew it would be good but this is up there with his best stuff. Loads of nice textures and vocal harmonies, quality atmospheric production. A bit more on the sadder/sober side than the last ones but that's kinda what you want with Owen.

    "Bring out what's dead...and dying..." during Sleep Is a Myth at 33:45 ...a direct reference to the same line in Everyone Feels Like You from No Good For No One Now? Even if it's just a coincidence I still got chills.

    • @robertlois773
      @robertlois773 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Listen, Duff, you're wrong. It's a clear reference to "Bring Out Yer Dead" in Monty Python's Holy Grail. Only a true Owen fan would recognize this.

      @robertlois773 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      No Duff, if you bought the first-pressing of the vinyl (must be the starburst yellow/green) he thanks the Monty Python's crew if you spin the record at 200 rpm.
