I love making polls and rankings. That might even be why I even joined in here in the first place. One day I'll create a website where there will be all kinds of lists and public rankings of Omar albums and people could vote and create lists like what's the darkest Omar album and that would make a nice spectrum from dark to light with all 56 albums together which would make no sense at all, I know. Also people would rate every songs and albums and could post tracklists to burn on cds. Fortunately I have no idea how to create such a website.

 

So I know Teri's participation in Omar's discography hasn't always been well received around here and, with ipecac series, it kinda felt like too much Teri for some.

I'm not for myself her biggest fan either, but I keep in mind that it's not an easy task to take after Ximena and her warm voice, who benefited from a bunch of great materials to sing on. And I do appreciate most of the albums Teri sings on.

 

I hope to not forget anything...

She's on :

 

Octopus Kool Aid

Blind Worms Pious Swine

Umbrella Mistress

Cell Phone Bikini

Infinity Drips

Some Need It Lonely

Zen Thrills

Chocolate Tumor Hormone Parade

Azul, Mis Dientes

 

 

I'd go with Azul, as it's one of the most surprising, album from the ipecac serie to me. I also have much love for Zen Thrills, and in a way for Octopus Kool Aid.

I used to really like CPB too but I've listened too much to it and grew bored of it somehow.

Her vocals on Zen Thrills are next level.

[kathygriffin]

If blind worms had 2 more songs instead of that jam at the end, it'd be a 3 way tie with CPB and ZT.

[Andrewf]

aranas en la sombra

[patsyinclined]

POUNDS OF FILTH
ON THE BACK OF MY SKIIIIN

[swoonlp]

I'd go with either Zen Thrills or Azul, Mis Dientes. Tough call

[swan_song1977]

it probably should be octopus kool aid but idk i kinda like azul more i think. Bosnian rainbows or cry for the flies are better though imo

[Mataxia]

Cell Phone Bikini for sure. Zen Thrills is great too but a little rough around the edges.

I just love umbrella. It's a real album, doesn't sound like a collection of outtakes like most others

[issordni]

I didn't notice umbrella in the list, maybe cos Omar does the main vocals. I think her best vocal performance is ZT, but I do prefer Umbrella Mistress as a record.

[swan_song1977]

yeah umbrella is an odd duck there. why not have sworn virgins, aranas, el bien, or mansions too? she does just as much there

 

i cant believe azul is doing this good, i remember it getting a lukewarm reception. figured i'd be the only one voting for it lol. octopus being that low is surprising too

[issordni]

The same logic would apply to Blind Worms. She's not main vocals, is she? They kinda share vox - it's a great little record too, like a better version of Scissor Sisters (or am I the only one who hears?)

Yeah. Kind of like how xenophanes isn’t really considered a Ximena album. At least I don’t think it is.

[xpgno]

It's Octopus Kool Aid for me.

Yeah you're right, I don't know why I thought she was more on umbrella mistress than on the others. Maybe she was singing winter's gone in the demo version and I got confused ?

But she do sing a full song or two on blind worms, don't she ?

And I didn't know she was on sworn virgins, aranas and weekly mansions.

As for azul i'm surprised as well, i thought i was the only one liking it around here when it came out. If i remember correctly OKA wasn't much appreciated either when it was released.

She's not on Sworn Virgins.

She's not on Sworn Virgins.

 

debatable

[evagetsuga]

Is Teri on El Mal Y El Bien Nos Une?

[Mataxia]

Pretty sure she does backing vocals.  I really think this poll should just have albums with her on lead.

[swan_song1977]

seems like sworn virgins; could be her, could be a pitch shifter. we'll never know
