Rate the studio albums

[chadizzy1]

Since we're 6 years removed from AFTW being released, I thought it would be fun to go back through and rate the albums.

To keep it simple, I used 0-10 with no half points.

I know we often post individual rankings, but I think it would be neat to see how Ants as a whole would average rank these albums in 2018.

Survey - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...rm?usp=sf_link

Do we get a prize if we complete the survey?

[drop2d]

Poll fail. I need a 0 for Stand Up. And at least a -10 for EED

[haefs11]

I went:
UTTAD - 9
Crash - 9
BTCS - 10
Everyday - 5 (So Right & What You Are are 4.5 of this)
Busted Stuff - 7
Stand Up - 1
Big Whiskey - 3
AFTW - 2

New Album will be lucky to match Big Whiskey, unless it contains some/all of the classic unreleased songs

Why did you have a 6-year window between your 1st & 2nd show? Pure curiosity.

They never came here, and the ex wasn't a fan, and I didn't wanna go to concerts by myself.

As soon as we split up, the first thing I did was buy tickets to a DMB show, which coincidentally was them coming back to Little Rock for the first time since 2003.

[SmoothD41]

Under the Table - 10
Crash - 10
BTCS - 10
Everyday - 5
Busted Stuff - 8
Stand Up - 2
Big Whiskey - 6
Away From - 5

[DMBCardinal]

UTTAD - 9
Crash - 9
BTCS - 9
Everyday - 6
Busted Stuff - 8
Stand Up - 4
Big Whiskey - 7
Away from the World - 7

I was probably a little too generous on Stand Up.

New album will be lucky to be a 3 out of 10? Yikes

Maybe my ratings are different, but a 3 would be Nickleback level music for me.

I rated them in terms of DMB.

New DMB albums being below average isn't a mirage any more, it's trend until proven otherwise. And during a lot of that time, the mid to late 2000's, they were writing good music, but they just weren't releasing it. Their musical ear has changed, and I have accepted that, and that's okay.

[garagebrothers]

I still think Lillywhite is as good as the Big 3, ahh what could have been.

Going to concerts by yourself is underrated.

Ill be doing it for the first time this year. I liked going with my buddy because if there’s a liberation or something, I could turn to him and say wow, a liberation, or something.

I’m imagining I’m getting stuck between some dMbFamily casuals and something being busted out and bro to my right saying “oh it’s a new song”. And then bro to my left screaming “BARTENDER!!!!!!!” all night.

With the ex and my best friend I could sandwich myself between normality.

actually, it sounds like you'll be sandwiching yourself between normality this year, with Bro 1 and Bro 2.

That's exactly what I did when I split from my ex. I went to as many dmb and phish shows as I could.

my first show was the show at USANA in 2010, in the encore they teased Last Stop (just dave noodling over the riff a few times) and the lady next to me screamed "TOO MUCH! PLAY TOO MUCH!" and i turned to her and almost lost my mind hahaha

[groogrux27]

can i ask why no one on here likes AFTW? it literally is everything we asked for. More Dave guitar based songs. got em. Tim on Acoustic. Got em. More jam songs. Got em. I don't understand what all the hate is for

Uuuuum.... just eyeballing the scores here but it looks like YOU were one of the ones to rank it on the lower end. Other than that, I agree with your comment here
