Bought both today. Mean Everything to Nothing is superb, and I haven't gotten around to watching Neverender yet.

It's an awesome follow-up to "I'm Like A Virgin Losing A Child". They shed quite a bit of the "emo" tag and add in a lot more fun guitar lines as well as some Beach Boy-channeling moments. They still manage to sound like Brand New on "Shake It Out", add in some interesting riffs on "Pride" that sound vaguely metal, and every track sounds nothing like the one before it. And it's pretty obvious that Andy Hull (lead singer) has taken up smoking (or something) because the vocals have a much grittier tone. I won't say it surpasses their debut (it doesn't) but it's a more-than-decent sophomoric album.

Goldie - Timeless (1995) Fourteen years later and it's still the most gorgeous sounding drum n' bass album of all time. Essential. Zombi - Surface To Air (2006) Psychedelic-ambient goodness crossed with the sort of synth-drum-bass driven stuff Rush was doing circa Moving Pictures/Signals back in the 80's. Very good headphone album!! Maudlin of the Well - Part the Second (2009) Eight years after Bath and Leaving Your Body Map, astral-metal gods MotW return with a fan-funded album that sounds so beautiful your ears will melt. It's available at their site for free RIGHT NOW so go listen for yourselves!!!!!
