Here's my rating

the 77s cds:

the 77s (island) *****
sticks and stones *****
88 *****
pray naked *****
drowning with land... ****
tom tom blues *****
echos o faith ***
the 77s (EP) *****
agforc ***
late ***
direct *****

I always thought that if you put "EP" and "Direct" together and sequenced them well, you would have a truly great album.

And while I'm at it...

Safe as Milk *****
The Boat Ashore ****
Live @ C-Stone '97 ***
It's For You ****

RE: the 77s albums

If I wasn't around to stick up for Late, they'd be sellin' copies cheap as weapon props at Xena conventions.

Late ****1/2

RE: the 77s albums

the 77s cds:
Ping Pong Over The Abyss ***
All Fall Down ****
Seventy Sevens *****
Sticks And Stones *****
88 *****
Pray Naked *****
Drowning With Land In Sight ****
tom tom blues *****
Echos o' Faith ***
EP *****
A Golden Field Of Radioactive Crows ****
Direct ****

I didn't see a real need to include "Late" since it's a mix of previously released songs, different mixes and a couple live songs.

Posted by Marti on 07-27-2006 at17:16:

Understood--I just tend to be the one to stick up for it. I might feel differently about it if my collection were more complete.

Wow, I didn't even see your comment about it right above my post, so my saying that wasn't a reaction to anything you wrote about it. Cool

Here's my rating

ping pong ** (mediocre start)
all fall down *** (but "Mercy Mercy" and "You don't scare me" rock)
the 77s (island) **** (the supposed to be big hit...)
sticks and stones ***** (great collection of unreleased tracks)
88 ***** (this is the one to have - live alt- blues rock at its best)
pray naked **** (new band looking for new identity...)
drowning with land... ***** (...and finding it)
tom tom blues *** (fuzz rock power trio, probably their weirdest release)
echos o faith **** (great live show, weak master sound)
the 77s (EP) **** (a new jazz- influenced dimension of multi- layered guitars)
agforc *** (trying too hard to score a rock classic)
late *** (non- essential collection)
direct **** (follow up to EP, released at the same time as SYP)

Safe as Milk **** (12- song version, only *** for the 9- song- version)
The Boat Ashore *** (mellow and intimate)
Live @ C-Stone '97 *** (live performance of TBA)
It's For You **** (great live solo recordings)
Daydream **** (good instrumental music to fall asleep to)
Say Your Prayers ***** (absolutely brilliant, only voice and guitar)
Orbis ** (weird / ambient instrumental music; I don't get it)
Fun with Sound ***** (fantastic songs, sound somewhere between EP and TBA)

I love them all, mostly, but the AGFORC gets on my nerves here and there.

mikey!
