Yeah I never endorsed his look or stage actions. Has been douchy from the start. I liked the band image and general sound in the early days though. The horse he's been beating has been dead since like 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twentytwenty Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 I think that on I-Empire, they perfected the sound of Whisper. Got it right. Fucking great album that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twentytwenty Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 If you listen to AVA today, what album would you put on? I’m looking at you too @Ghent , but to you I maybe have to rephrase the question, if you had to listen to AVA today, what album would you put on?

JarJarBlinks Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 WDNTW hands down. Empire isn't nearly as good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 I hated Tom for AVA, hated all the albums, everything about it. I was the ultimate Tom hater. It's like me and Ghent literally swapped attitudes with each other haha 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chasing Shadows, Stomping The Phantom Brake, and the new stuff. Whisper and Empire are kind of stale now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely hated Empire, it was all just a boring trod through uneventful nonsense. Whisper had some balls and the songs hit the way they were suppose to ... everything after that has been a snoozefest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empire is "okay" then love 1&2 just ripped of empire except even more watered down. Although I'd take those over the new "Rubin" sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to call something gay in a derogatory way, but I just don't know how else to explain Rebel Girl or Kiss and Tell in any other way. They are gay. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twentytwenty Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 It's interesting reading your album of choice. When I listen to AVA nowadays it's mostly one of the love albums I put on, more often the second one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I-Empire, not that it's all that good but my neighbor in the dorms was a big AVA fan at that time and we listened to some kind of early teaser for that album while chilling in his dorm a lot so it has fun early college memories attached to it. I never got into WDNTW or anything else they've done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knapppers Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 I really think chasing shadows has become my fav. Animals is a skip but some very good ones on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
