Easily one of my favorite albums, so much energy and creativity.
Key Tracks: "Cicatriz ESP," "Drunkship of Lanterns," "Televators"

Love this album, definitely one of my favs too.

Aside from the Chameleons, I've been listening to this too... and it's a bit of a weird one for me. Superficially it sounds radio-rockish but underneath it's a bit more introspective, brooding and complex than it lets on. It's far from perfect and does drag on a bit, but it has some nice parts and Dempsey's lyrics are great. It's prompted me to check out some of their older (and less commercially polished) stuff because I see potential here.

Frank Turner's debut, bit of British folk.

Awesome album, high school album for me...
You should get into Beautiful Sharks for a your next SFK album

Ash - 1977

This album makes me wish i was 17 in 1996, so that it could soundtrack my summer. Definitely their best album.

Belle and Sebastian - The Life Pursuit

Genius lyrics and sweet melodies, this album is so good.

I bought that on the very same day I left school, at 16. It's a good album for what it is. It's never going to be anything amazing but it's fun for what it does.

The Fall - Our Future, Your Clutter

Still think it's the best thing they've done in a fairly long time. Fantastic bass sound to the whole thing - the more I listen to it, the more I'm convinced it sounds brain-meltingly awesome live.

Mmmmmmm, nice. A very easy album to enjoy.

Superb album. First time I've ever 5-starred an entire album. (though I do think the album artwork is pretty lamesauce)

TheCunningStunt · 04-14-2010, 07:15 PM

Seriously? 5 stars? For Lostrophets... no other album is as good as that?
