Cool Waves has another 1 after the first 1 in the track number. I suggest you fix your metadata.

Let me guess, Disorder.

>>72879913
Disorder is my favorite track but I don't think its the ONLY one worth listening to
>>
>>72878452
This album is a 10/10 though

no it's not and Spiritualized is one of my favorite bands. The album is mostly not great with some high points. The maddening repetitiveness that Spiritualized always uses is at its most annoying here.

Such a shitty meme. This album is fantastic.
>>
>>72881371
Lazer Guided Melodies is in my top 20 albums. Live at Royal Albert Hall is top 50. Ladies and Gentleman has always felt so self important and stupid and has some downright terrible tracks despite the presence of great ones.
>>
>>72881402
I feel like there's more to this than just not liking the record.

>Ladies and Gentleman has always felt so self important and stupid and has some downright terrible tracks
1. Are you only hating on it because it's popular? Because nothing about the record is self-important, it's just centrally themed around addiction.
2. Which tracks are terrible?
>>
>>72881471
first four tracks = great
Home of the Brave = best song
No God Only Religion = studio version not as good as live version
Cop Shoot Cop = still good

The rest is pretty mediocre.

ok fucking stop this sure Disorder is really good but you there's at least four other songs on the album worth listening to
>Shadowplay

>She's Lost Control

Individual, Broken Heart (peak), and Cool Waves are literally the best songs though.

I like Broken Heart sometimes when it comes on during the live album. The way it comes on after No God Only Religion works better than it coming on berfore. Maybe it's the flow and sequencing of the album that doesn't work as well for me. I can never remember The Individual exists.

Maybe I do dislike it because it overshadows Lazer Guided Melodies which is all killer no filler.
>>
>>72881750
Lazer is a great record too. They're both 9/10s. I think people in general (and me personally) prefer Ladies and Gentlemen slightly because it's more cohesive thematically, and slightly because muh feels.

Shine a Light is still their best song though.

Where to find more music that sounds like the opener? I want cozy/melancholy stuff that sounds similar

it's not the only track worth listening to, the whole album is OK, but you might think is just so far superior to the other tracks.

had to look for a while to find an album in my library that fit this description and this is the best I could do. There are a handful where the opening track is the best by a decent margin but saying they're the /only/ track worth listening to is pretty hyperbolic
>>
>>72881601
It's the vocals. they are just too bland
>>
>>72882201
New Order fixed that problem.
>>
>>72879913
I mean, I get why you think this. Stylistically speaking, Disorder is very different from basically every other track on the album. It's also an objectively catchy song, so it's easy to see why it can appeal even to people who do not typically like post-punk. However, Unknown Pleasures as a whole is the pinnacle of post-punk and is definitely worth listening to in its entirety for anyone who likes post-punk.

c'mon the album is perfectly book ended
