Pitchfork loves it, Cokemachineglow loves it, Stylus Magazine loves it as much as they love any record that isn't released by a pitch-corrected pop songstress.

Now it's your turn. This is probably one of my favourite records of the year - Andy Falkous' demented vocals and gnarled guitars coupled with the deep, primitive thrum of the rhythm section (courtesy of former Jarcrew bassist Kelson Mathias and fellow mcluskyite Jack Egglestone) make for a fantastically visceral listening experience, and the occasionally surprisingly touching moment (see: "Suddenly It's A Folk Song," "The Contrarian") adds variety and depth to the album. Falkous' keyboard work is also pretty awesome.

If you haven't found it on your own yet, here it is.

It's a pretty good album, though I'm not sure exactly how high I'd rate it. Had it on my computer for a week or, but only listened to it a couple times. I'll throw it on again in a half hour or so, and report back. I would definitely recommend all you folks download it though.

I recently checked Future Of The Left out when someone mentioned them in the 'Rage Music' thread, they pretty much kicked my balls off.

I put this in the sendspace thread a couple days ago. I am pretty cool.

Johnny C · « **Reply #10 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 19:47 »

Am I seriously the only dude who never goes into that thread?

valley_parade · « **Reply #11 on:** 03 Oct 2007, 09:09 »

It does appear that way.

I got it on monday and I really like it. I was afraid to be dissapointed because i had pretty high expectations which were exceeded, actually. Also I'm probably going to see them live on the 20th. For cheap, no less.

You haven't even listened to this record, have you.

Irrelevant. I couldn't resist that joke even if I had heard the album a thousand times.

I'm glad you posted this 'cos at the start of the thread I was like 'mm maybe I'll grab it next week or something this sounds pretty cool but I have a couple of new albums to listen to already and-' and then I saw the song titles and well, sold.

negative creep · « **Reply #25 on:** 18 Oct 2007, 17:01 »

Well, I've been listening to this album basically non-stop since i got it and I'll be damned if it isn't my album of the year. And I'm going to see them on saturday. Fuck yeah!

I really don't understand the "Mark Foley was right" line in Manchasm. Isn't Mark Foley to child molesting Senator?
