My personal favorite is the "The World Comes to an End in the End of a Journey" split. Well, not unless you include Amesoeurs' album.
I know ... and Shyy are coming out with a split, and I guess ... have adopted this new sound as well. I was quite surprised, needless to say, considering how they used to sound.
