Oh, some will say JET outdoes Fever Fever, and even Ill admit that Fever Fever s a little more traditional in sound, but I love its almost laid-back Beatles-esque compositions and performance.How to rank PUFFYs albums, and is it even worth doing In a way, it doesnt feel quite right - all of their albums are worth owning, and all have at least a few essential songs.Their range in quality is (mostly) a narrow band at the upper end of the scale.
Puffy Amiyumi Show But I need something to write about and you need something to read. And believe it or not, new fans of PUFFY do stumble across my blog every once in a while. They need guidance This list is partially for them, and partially for the rest of you to argue about amongst yourselves. The order is not definitive; just one western fans subjective opinion (though probably one of the few American fans with a complete CD collection). Ive purposely only included albums of original material, though what I mean is, of course, original for PUFFY. That excludes best of albums and remixes, but allows for cover songs and of course, any of the multitude of songs written for them by others. By the way, the album titles are linked to PUFFYs official discography page for that album, just in case you wanted to hear song samples for anything you dont have. SPIKE 2000 Ive already written about why I think this is PUFFYs best album, but long story short, SPIKE is simply the culmination of everything that ever made PUFFY great. For one thing, its as eclectic as theyve ever been, with styles ranging from punk to garage to lounge to disco. Both of the girls have amazing solo songs on the album: Amis Destruction Pancake and Yumis This is the Song of Sweet Sweet Season When Cherry Garcia Blossoms Bloom. Theres a nice balance between old and new PUFFY - this was the cusp of their changeover from Tamio Okuda as long-time producer to Andy Sturmer, and both share roughly equal time on the album. Its both the last well ever hear of the original strange and fun and diverse PUFFY, and the first we hear of the more modern, harder PUFFY. Its an album you can listen to beginning to end and never fail to be (pleasantly) surprised. But it all works, both separately as individual songs and as an album. Best songs: Boogie Woogie 5, Destruction Pancake, Sui Sui, Swimming Pool, Green Apple, This is the Song of Sweet Sweet Season When Cherry Garcia Blossoms Bloom, Umi EtoInto the Beach, Puffys Rule 2. Splurge 2006 This was a tough one, and I go back and forth between Splurge, Fever Fever and Nice in this position. But Splurge just has a little more variety than either of those other two, as PUFFY embraced a new model of employing multiple guest producers and songwriters for their 10th anniversary album, making for a nice mix of styles only a little less diverse than SPIKE. The overall sound is harder, and darker, but still undoubtedly PUFFY - and the return of the solo songs after a two album absence was definitely welcome. About all thats missing from this album is a disco track - though it seemed pretty clear by this point that theyd moved on from the electronic pop songs that theyd occasionally dabbled with right up through 2003s Nice. Puffy Amiyumi 59 Rarest Full Decade AfterIts also saying something that what I consider their second-best album came a full decade after their debut, and nine albums into their career. Best songs: Call Me What You Like (if you like rock n roll), Nice Buddy, Radio Tokyo, Mole-Like, Etude, Sunday in the Park, Cameland, Security Blanket, BeginningsHajimari no Uta 3.
