Went with Sambadrome but a toss up between that and Hollywood Boulevard. I like the remake of HB but thought it was weak on the original vinyl release.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Some very nice guitar playing, but the track lies limp.

Controversial opinion but I thought Upping St was a great EP. Maybe they were rushed but I still remember the disappointment when I first played it. It did have a bit to live up to after the first album.

The choice for me was Sambadrome vs Dial a Hitman, but I'll tap the former to exit because the latter does have a goofy charm.

Surprised at Beatbox getting 2 votes, one of their best tracks for me.

And a fuck of an opening track—like SEH. Just that exploding power right out of the gate. Second album, too.

One of their best as far as I'm concerned

Voting off sambadrome as it's another one that I always only sorta vaguely recall when I'm not actually listening to it.

Beatbox just doesn't come together for me. I feel like they've reached for something that's out of their grasp.

I really love about half the album and half of it doesn’t do much for me. Which is (after TIBAD) kind of my BAD experience.

I listened to it Wednesday and I’m pretty sure I forgot it DURING the listening.

I like Beatbox and wouldn’t vote for it for another few rounds, but I think you’re technically right.

I always read Sambadrome as sadtrombone.
