Squalor Victoria is good to.

I like Racing like a Pro

ProggyMan · 05-21-2008, 11:51 PM

Mmm me too, and don't forget Fake Empire. Anyone know if they're touring anytime soon?

sleepy jack · 05-21-2008, 11:51 PM

Yeah they are.

Alligator is better than Boxer if only for Looking for Astronauts and All the Wine.

ProggyMan · 05-21-2008, 11:53 PM

Maybe, but Boxer I haven't overplayed yet and it's more consistent. Aliigators is verrrry good though.

I like Alligator 10 times more than Boxer because it's filled with actual individual songs, songs that might even be single material, like Lit up, Friend of mine, All the wine, Mr November etc. I've listened to Boxer half a dosen times and only one song really stuck out, Fake empire. Everything else is just him droning in that monotone baritone of his and some neat drumming.

Oh btw, The Virginia Ep is out. :\

I got the EP but haven't gotten around to listening yet.

The songs are more subtle, and they certainly don't sound the same. True, there's not much single material, but why is that a bad thing?

It becomes monotonous after a while and my attention span is that of a goldfish. Alligator was a much more diverse album and managed to keep my attention even through some weaker songs.
