A lot of people say it's their least favourite BSS album, and I can kinda see why. It's very sonically dense and a bit more experimental (ie, less accessible) than their other albums, but with enough listens this album becomes amazing.

I can understand Silent Alarm but I thought Intimacy was only so-so.

Perhaps I have misjudged it? Should I re-listen?

1. Libertines - Up The Bracket

3. Peter Doherty - Grace/Wastelands
4. Baxter Dury - Happy Soup
5. The Maccabees - Colour It In
(I think)

Some interesting choices here. I much prefer GIVEN TO THE WILD to COLOUR IT IN though.

Libertines "UP THE BRACKET" though- good call!

Andrew Bird - and the Mysterious Production of Eggs
Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrypha
Calexico - Carried to Dust
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
Sufjan Stevens - Come on Feel the Illinoise

It's tough to come up with 5, and tough to feel comfortable with what people consider Indie.
