Deluxe version is the way to go baby!

The Atmospher thread reminded me of how much I love this album:

Atmosphere - When Life Hands You Lemons You Paint That Shit Gold

Xinlisupreme - Tomorrow Never Comes

So back in high school, when my iPod was filled with probably 90% metal and a little bit of alternative I heard about this interesting genre called noise music. I forgot about it, then got into bands like NMH, MBV, Dinosaur Jr, and The Pixies. One day I stumbled across this album. Imagine my surprise when I realized that noise thing I heard about essentially combined the layers of distortion blasting out of MBV's Loveless and the brutality of death metal. I fell in love instantly, and this was my real introduction to the genre. I ****ing love this album, it was going to be in my top 100 thread I gave up on.

THE COOPER TEMPLE CLAUSE - KICK UP THE FIRE AND LET THE FLAMES BREAK LOOSE (2003)

As far as i'm concerned The Cooper Temple Clause's first two albums were enough to make them stand out from the crowd of British indie bands early in the decade. Their sound technically never included them in this genre anyway but the NME helped to place them alongside everyone else, something they do so well. The Cooper Temple Clause were writing much more imaginative, intelligent songs while bands like The Libertines and their "followers" were putting out far more generic, riff based rock and roll and suffered slightly in the shadow i feel.

Their first album is by far my favourite but this album brought with it a lot more melody to their material in place of the messier aggression of the debut and a noticeable increase in their electronic influences.

At times ambient and mellow but seemingly building, layer upon layer to a chaotic climax and with one or two more radio friendly, poppier numbers thrown in for good measure. Their next and also last album would be a major disappointment although the material would sound very good live so a rare listen to this today has reminded me just how much i like this record.

XBXRX - Wars

I've reacquainted myself with this beaut recently after a period of inactivity, and it sounds as good as when i first heard it. At times it sounds like you're listening to the deconstruction of music, quite a lot of it is improv which, coupled with the hardcore influences implicit in their music, results in a sound really quite menacing and brutal.
