Ps. I hope Patrick doesn't ever see this. It would be quite disheartening to learn that your fans think your music is getting progressively worse over time. Cheers Florence! And I agree that the seemingly chronological descent is a bit troubling. But I think a lot might have to do with the fact that fans on here came in during the early years, and his style has changed significantly since then, appealing to different tastes. So while many on here don't think The Bachelor is all that compared to Lycanthropy, there are probably others (like meeeee!) who feel the opposite. Or perhaps that's wishful thinking on my part. Oh well. Here we are including jakes. Lycanthropy IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Wind in the Wires IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII The Magic Position IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII The Bachelor IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

1. Wind in the Wires 2. The Bachelor 3. Lycanthrophy 4. The Magic Position Though, I must say 2 and 3 were very close. Perhaps The Bachelor got an edge because it's so new to me and I've listened to it so much the last few months. Wind in the Wires, however, will always be my number one love

1. Lycanthrophy 2. Wind in the Wires 3. The Magic Position 4. The Bachelor
aw, so chronological! I was really torn about which is my least favorite, because it's not that I think he's getting worse over time exactly...I just think TMP works better as an album overall. If I could somehow listen to The Bachelor without the Tilda Swinton parts (which I thought were brilliant at first, but now annoy me on repeated listenings), I would put it at 3.

1. Wind in the Wires 2. The Bachelor/Lycanthropy 3. Magic Position
The reason wind in the wires is at the top, is because its so complete as an album, and so atmospheric/theatrical throughout. It's so beautiful that i can listen to it from start to finish on end. For the same reason, the Magic Position does have highlights, but it just seems to lose me after Bluebells onwards.
Also, i prefer the 'folkish' Patrick as opposed to the (don't throw insults at me) 'trashy' way the Magic Position wardrobe looked. everything just seemed really disjointed and was mixed and matched without a second thought.

That's exactly what I think, thank you WITW is kind of music I found thanks to Patrick. It's not like I hate The Bachelor - someone may love his music progress - but the new album is just not my cup of tea. Somehow... not at all.

1. Wind in the Wires 2. Lycanthropy/The Bachelor 4. The Magic Position
...Scarily enough, my thought process is EXACTLY like honesttheif's. When I want to listen to Patrick's music it's usually WITW. Nice and moody. I like all the albums but the Magic Position has quite a few songs I don't really love BUT if it weren't for it being released on Universal and all, I probably would never of heard of him.

1. Lycanthrophy 2. The Bachelor / The Magic Position 4. Wind in the Wires
Lycanthropy is top because when I want to listen to him thats my first pick, I love it, it's so full of emotions. I've warmed a lot to The Batchelor and I love the richness of it, Magic Position was the first album I had of Patrick so although I really loved it I have slightly over listened it. but it has some wonderful songs, Magpie, Bluebells and the Stars.
I'm probably in the minority with liking WITW least, I just find some of the songs on it boring and too naval gazing, but it still has my favourite song, Tristan. Every time I need it, that songs always makes me feel better.

Same about 2 and 3 being very close. And not putting WITW at #1 would be like betraying a best friend.

Lycanthropy after magic position!?! i'm baffled.... well for me, see Lycanthropy can't be 4th best because it represents everything Patrick Wolf is. it's kind of like a piece of his soul. The whole wolf imagery, and a collection of songs written since he was 15/16, and with abstract imaginative lyrics like....riding a giraffe its so innocent its perfect. note that this rant is probably my repentence for not ranking it first.
