I don't consider Radiohead to really be an indie rock band, but they were mentioned so why not...
These Four Walls was okay. Wouldn't say it's in the top 5.
The sound kind of drones on you after a few listens, Quiet Little Voices and Ships With Holes Will Sink are still quality tracks though.

I think it's an excellent, memorable album throughout. Certainly rough around the edges, but that's part of the appeal for me.
