Transistor is my favorite, it's S.A.'s science themed album. It's the band's album, too, but I call it S.A.'s because I think he wrote the lyrics for over 90% of the songs. He talks about out of body experiences, free energy, and several interesting subjects.

Soundsystem deals a lot with science, too, mostly computer age stuff, but yeah Transistor is their best, because it really captures what makes them great, mostly really chill, mellow songs, with a few good rock songs thrown in. They're great to listen to if you feel upbeat and positive, or just really relaxed, or stoned.

their later stuff might not be like that, i haven't heard anything beyond "transistor". i don't really have anything against them. music, and that blue album were ok. i know alot of island people, i hear the accent every day.
hearing it from them is just strange to me, that's all.

I played Grassroots non-stop today. I don't know why that isn't a more acclaimed album...

I like it too but there new album hasn't received positive reviews; I haven't listened to the whole thing yet. I think at this point in there career they are a live band because they put too much crappy-ballad-filler on their albums these days. Music, Grassroots, and 311 still pwn though!

That would be even more boring.
