Sigur Ros have lyrics. :? And Mogwai do sometimes.

And in Mogwai's case, most of the songs with words are shit.
Jackie Blue:
I like the Mogwai songs with words. "cody", "Take Me Somewhere Nice", and "Acid Food" are some of my favorites of theirs.
BrittanyMarie:
After I got my heart stomped on real good, I listened to The Velocity of Saul at the Time of his Conversion (an Okkervil River song, but from Down the River of Golden Dreams, which came before Black Sheep Boy, and is better) seventy-two times in a row. That is the exact opposite of making your emotions go away for a little bit-it seems that that song in particular always amplifies whatever emotion I'm already feeling.
If I do want emotional anaesthetic music, I will usually throw on the opposite emotion music, and then it balances out. If I'm all wahsadwah I will listen to All Girl Summer Fun Band or ZibraZibra or Man Man or something like that.

Oh you had me til about the last three words.
BrittanyMarie:
While Black Sheep Boy does indeed rule, and is admittedly probably a better album as a whole (in cohesiveness, creating a mood, etc), I just still prefer to listen to Down the River, because I generally like the songs on it best- specifically the one I mentioned and The War Criminal Rises and Speaks. And... all the rest of them too.
