Shiny Lala and the Cotillions of Cyr
I figured if Billy hadn't tried to do four different albums (two of them double) over the last few years, and used a mix of material from all of those from an SP album, we'd have gotten a decent album.
So I decided to do that. This is what I came up with. A mix of rock (starting heavy) and then a good variety of guitar, synth, and acoustic tunes. Almost what you'd imagine a 90s SP album would be like, that kind of variety seen on Pisces or MCIS. 1. Solara 2. Marchin' On 3. Wyttch 4. Alienation 5. The Spaniards 6. Purple Blood 7. Silvery Sometimes 8. Anno Satana 9. Save Your Tears 10. Amarinthe 11. Travels 12. The Colour Of Love 13. With Sympathy 14. Archer Note - it's pretty tricky going from a Shiny 1 track to anything else as they are so damn loud. But I think this is a pretty neat album. Ending on Archer would've been a cool move, like a little afterthought. I'd wanted to add Fragile The Spark too, but it would've leaned the album too heavily toward acoustic tracks. I put this list on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6e...QlWSJuBKHg1qCg |

Wicked idea, some nice choices
Not gonna listen to alienation ever again, but the choice other nugs on your list has convinced me this is a worthwhile endeavor, and so u have inspired me to attempt my own list. Need to spend a little more time with CYR, first, probably, as my opinions on the songs seem to shift every time i listen |

great idea, same for your post about the small club tour
i don't like the tracks you picked tho, just because the omission of malta, and the inclusion of more than...1 or 2 cyr songs |

remember when we'd make "dream single disk album" based on ACTUAL albums that the guy put out...
now we're reduced to "make a dream single album" from the last 10 he's released. shed a tear. |

Sure.
1. Solara 2. Purple Blood 3. Silvery Sometimes 4. Travels 5. Aeronaut 6. The Processional 7. Anno Satana 8. Save Your Tears 9. Amarinthe 10. With Sympathy 11. Fragile, The Spark 12. Cotillions 13. Wrath 14. Archer I think this could even get 4 star reviews. Last edited by VoxUpDoc : 11-29-2020 at 12:57 PM. |

Solara is alright. It’s the best uptempo rocker of the 4 albums. |

Cheers, put some thought into making it flow. It's too long and whiplashes because of the mixes. If there were another strong uptempo rock single I'd trade it for Amarinthe, or add more Jimmy & James to the Ogilala tracks. Maybe cut the Processional for Amyrinthe.
I think Cotillions works as an emo centrepiece towards the end of the album, but because of the mix doesn't gel as it could. Revised: 1. Solara 2. Purple Blood 3. Silvery Sometimes 4. Travels 5. Aeronaut 6. Amarinthe 7. Anno Satana 8. Save Your Tears 9. Fragile, The Spark 10. Cotillions 11. With Sympathy 12. Wrath 13. Archer 51 mins. /close thread /delete account Last edited by VoxUpDoc : 11-29-2020 at 03:17 PM. |

Color love is my fave for an opener. Why not. It’s a pretty strong song
That or purple blood |

It’s weird but i can’t stand the title track, lead single Cyr. It’s by far my least fave on the album. The groove and instrumental is ok but the up front big willie honk, ridiculous lyrics, and sterilized shrill backing vocal totally kills it. It’s like nail on chalkboard for me

There's a few things you have to think about when doing this exercise; not too many acoustic or synth songs, don't have two acoustic songs one after the other, etc. Think of it as you would do compiling an album, or a collection like Pisces. I mean, you don't have Soothe followed by Landslide for example. |

The live version they released after on YouTube was slightly better with James' leads but again, a song being ruined in the studio by baffling production choices isn't exactly a new post 2000 phenomenon. |

Well, one good thing came out of this thread: I appreciate the Cotillions title track a lot.
One of maybe a handful of tracks that stands alongside SP1 material as is. |
