Re: Away From The World or Big Whiskey?
I voted AFTW back then, and I would still vote AFTW now... Sure, it gets a bias boost from the "return of Lillywhite", but it is a smooth album that neatly mixes "classic DMB" sound with non-overpowering "DMB 3.0" sound. BW, while still quite good, is geared more towards the overpowering DMB 3.0 sound, and gets a bias boost from being an "ode to Roi".
BW's highest points for me are:
Lying In The Hands Of God
Squirm
Baby Blue
Grux
Lowest points are:
Dive In
You and Me
AFTW's highest points are:
Snow Outside
Drunken Soldier
The Riff
Broken Things
Lowest points are:
Mercy
If Only
BW has more "skip songs" for me than AFTW does, and the melodies on AFTW are more "artsy" (at least compared to current DMB standards), unlike most of BW.
