Re: Worst track on Nonetheless
I think one of the best things about Nonetheless is how pleasant the listening experience is with no tracks that are grating or sound out of place. As such there is no real "worst track", but something's got to be the least appealing and for me that track is The Schlager Hit Parade, which thanks to its production (which is stellar on the whole album) never gets too cheesy, but still feels too lightweight and campy in comparison to the rest of a great album.

Re: Worst track on Nonetheless
I agree with all you said, but I think that song is precisely ment to be lightweight and campy. Tough decision, this one.BlueSwan wrote: Tue 30 Apr 2024, 1:21 pm I think one of the best things about Nonetheless is how pleasant the listening experience is with no tracks that are grating or sound out of place.

I love Schlager. It may be a bit out of place but it's classic. Really hope it's a single.
Re: Worst track on Nonetheless
This really is a tough one ! A good sign of how good all the tracks are though !

Just for the sake of it, make sure you're always frowning.

Re: Worst track on Nonetheless
I've still not decided what to think of the album as a total, but I know my least favourite track is Secret of happiness.

A New Bohemia - I love it the least...The whole album 10/10 for me..so no really worst...

Re: Worst track on Nonetheless
I do like pretty much all the songs on the album, so there is no real „worst“ one for me but if I have to pick the ones I don’t like as much as the rest, it would be:
The schlager hit parade (5/10)
Feel (6/10)
Why am I dancing? (6.5 / 10)
Everything else is a solid 7 or better for me.

Re: Worst track on Nonetheless
Happiness is superb! I voted for Narcissus because the lyrics are naff and it's far less clever than they think it is. We don't need another track telling us what a turd Trump is. My second least-favourite is Why am I dancing. It's quite good but sounds like a pastiche of Go West and Love is a bourgeois construct

Clearly The schlager hit parade. I get it that it's meant to be tacky, but the repetition of Christmas over and over makes it jarring. Maybe I'll enjoy it in December as another christmas song to accompany It doesn't often snow at Christmas, but just not in April.

I like bullet I just don’t like the part in the chorus Where Neils voice jumps high when he actually sings the title
Re: Worst track on Nonetheless
Having such a hard time picking the less best on this album could be really good news or really bad news.
In the case of nonetheless, really good news. It was hard to pick my least favorite.
Had to go with Shining star.
I think I could name one other album with which I would have a hard time picking the worst one and it would be bad news.
The other 13, easy pick.

Re: Worst track on Nonetheless
Have to go with The Schlager Hit Parade. Even though I do like it I think it would be a better B side. Other than that, I like all the rest of the tracks.....and Happiness has really grown on me I must say.
