Cursive - The Ugly Organ
Domestica is a favorite among Kasher fans, but it's a wonder to me why anyone would prefer Cursive without the addition of Gretta, the cellist. I've only been a Cursive fan for 3 years, but they've grown a lot since Domestica. The Ugly Organ's chaotic, pop-structured songs make my spine tingle everytime I listen to it .. especially front row and center live.Of Montreal - Satanic Panic in the Attic
Like Cursive's The Ugly Organ album, Of Montreal's most recent release, Satanic Panic, is oozing with catchy pop-structured songs. In this album, they're still the kooky, whimsical band that we've all grown to love...but now their songs are actually sing-along-able.Kings of Convenience - Versus
This is actually one of their collaborative cds--- it's full of tracks from their past two albums, remixed. Surprisingly enough, the remixes are better than the originals... how often does that happen? I guess when you team up a great band like KoC with names like Four tet, Röyksopp, Ladytron, you can't go wrong.Pinback - Blue Screened Life
I love how Pinback's songs are always layered .. with lots of interesting sounds to listen for. I actually prefer the Offcell EP over this album, but the thread is called "name your favorite albums", not name your favorite EPs.The Smiths - Strangeways, Here We Come
Morrisey. Does this album need further explaination?
