Your controversial BoC opinions.

[Jonse]

There's a lot of overlap for me. At the same time though, I would disagree so much with some of the "worst" choices. My top three tracks are almost certainly Julie and Candy (favorite BoC song, ever - period), You Could Feel The Sky and Opening the Mouth.

Posting here because it seems most appropriate

I don't get why (most) people flip their shit for IABPOITC.

I don't hate it, but i don't like Amo Bishop Roden, and i'm not a huge fan of the title track. I don't understand why these are fan favorites, so I guess it's just a personal preference.
Kid for Today and Zoetrope are great though.

[pigammon]

Okay here goes haha

I think The Campfire Headphase is on par with MHTRTC.
I don't like any of the singles or EPs BOC have released on Warp. (Twoism doesn't count)
Relating to that, I wish Trans Canada Highway didn't have any Dayvan related material on it and replaced it with unreleased music.
I fucking HATE the font on the front of Twoism.
The Devil In The Details is my favourite BOC song (except maybe Alpha And Omega)
Hi Scores, Peel Session and Geogaddi are all completely perfect. Every other BOC releases has a couple of flaws here and there.
I don't like the covers for Tomorrow's Harvest and Reach For The Dead.

Come at me.

[Skimming Stone]

A lot of those opinions aren't all that controversial I do like the inclusion of Dayvan on Trans Canada though. That EP makes me picture going down the highway with the wind blowing through my hair, and I feel Dayvan fits that nicely.

I don't get why (most) people flip their shit for IABPOITC.

Neither. Kid for Today is amazing, Amo isn't all that great, title track is cool and Zoetrope is very dependent on my mood. Hi Scores is much better imo.

[Headphase]

Trans Canada highway is their best EP
IABPOITC is a cool track but it's not as good as the other songs on that EP
I never liked beach at red point or opening the mouth

Hi Scores is my favorite ep of theirs. nearly perfect. I cant pick a favorite track.

[ScienceGuy]

Here are a few:

- I don't like Kid For Today at all. It's one of my least favorite BoC tracks.
- Related to that, IABPOITC EP is far and away my least favorite BoC release
- MHTRTC is BoC's weakest officially released LP, and BoC Maxima > MHTRTC
- Both TCH and TH are on par with Geogaddi, I consider these three LPs equal in quality
- I consider both Hi Scores and Trans Canada Highway better than any of their full length albums
- My favorite sequence on TCH is Constants Are Changing through the end (although Peacock Tail is my favorite track)
- Slow This Bird Down deserves to be cherished as one of the all-time great BoC tracks
- Sundown is the best track on TH and a contender for top 5 BoC
- In general, the second half of TH is master class, and the sequence from Uritual through til the end is the narratively strongest section in BoC's career
- I prefer The Story of Xentrix as the bonus track to Geogaddi over From One Source, I feel like it fits the album's main theme better
- Heard From Telegraph Lines and Under the Coke Sign are two of their greatest short tracks
- I really like the Odd Nosdam remix (FITE ME )
- I'm not a huge fan of Gyroscope
- I'm not a huge fan of 1969 (apparently this is a lot less controversial than I thought )
- I'm not a huge fan of Aquarius
- While Happy Cycling is a really good song, it could easily have about two minutes cut out from the middle
- Both OTV2 and R35TT >>>> AFOT
- Twoism's title track is probably my least favorite track on that release
- I neither love nor hate Basefree
- I'm not a huge fan of Audiotrack A06
- Finity > 5.9.78
- And lastly, Kiteracer 2 might just be the best thing they've ever done

Well, that turned out to be more than a few...

yes,

I feel Nosdam's remix of Dayvan Cowboy totally makes Trans Canada Highway transcend. BoC have such open ears to have connected with cLOUDDEAD (and Why?, another piece that's nothing short of brilliant) and to have asked Odd to work with them – totally meant to be.

I would honestly love to hear an album that has the rappers from cLOUDDEAD rapping with Odd Nosdam and BOC producing, but that would never happen.

I fucking HATE the font on the front of Twoism.

I thought I was the only one

[arvy]

I fucking HATE the font on the front of Twoism.

My controversial opinion, that this font could be Mike or Marcus hand-written

[Cosmic Manta]

That's what I thought as well

Judging by the handwriting on the old tunes liners, this is exactly what that font is.

[Jonse]

Thought that one was obvious. It was never a font. No idea whose handwriting it is specifically though but I do like it a lot. I made a vector version for a shirt print/stickers etc...it's almost like the Daft Punk logo a little bit, fitting too for the early era of BoC.

[Cupz]

I don't really adore BoC as much as I used to.

Tomorrows Harvest is a lot like its source material.

I hate Jacquard Causeway. Been trying to type that for almost 3 years.

I think liking Jacquard Causeway is more controversial here. I personally think it's one of their best tracks.

I think it's tight but that one weird offbeat hihat always confuses me, lol
