Paul Banks - Everybody On My Dick Like They Supposed To Be Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights Nice. Even though Turn on the Bright Lights is one of my favorite albums of the last ten years, I still walked by a Paul Banks set at a festival recently thinking, "I should get a beer or a hotdog." Interest=zero. I can understand that. I would more than likely do the same thing. However, if Interpol were playing, the hotdog would have to wait.

I just want to say that I think Dazzle Ships may be in my top 100 albums. Fucking awesome! Do you like this one better than A&M? I haven't checked out Dazzle Ships yet but A&M has been on repeat all week.

I need to get on it. I've been thoroughly enjoying everything I've heard since the lineup came out. I've always owned their greatest hits, and for some strange reason bought their newest album a couple of years ago, but the rest of their catalog is just really damn solid and surprising.

It's definitely one of those albums where you should give yourself time to listen to the whole thing front to back. It's amazing how well crafted it is as a total listening experience. Hope you like it, dude!

We Were Promised Jetpacks is so fucking good. Seriously! I can't believe they're not more popular, both albums are incredibly solid, and at times completely awesome.

Hum - You'd Prefer an AstronautTHE BEST!!!! One of my all time favorites. I read blacksmile's list on my phone before I had time to reply, but I agree. I haven't listened to this album in six months, but I can safely say it's the first time since 1995 I have gone six months without listening to it. And of course I'm putting it on now.

I feel the same way. I have no idea what it is that sets this band apart but I fucking love it. Solid from start to finish. The beauty about it this time is that my four year old son picked it out because it has a zebra on the cover!

"Stars" hit the airwaves and I was sold. I remember purchasing the album in Fremont, CA from a Warehouse Records (went out of style faster than Blockbuster). Following the first listen I was absolutely hooked and have been evr since. Love Downward Is Heavenward nearly as much. Have been and will continue to be obsessed with Hum.

"Stars" was my gateway as well. I've had the same copy since it came out in, what, '94? The book is chewed up a bit, but after hundreds of listens it still sounds the same as when I bought it. Fuck those people that say cd's have a limited shelf life. Yes! Downward is also brilliant.

Yes, I've listened to Downward Is Heavenward at least 13 times, but every time I hear it, I want to listen to the Astronaut album.
My two minutes of wiki research yielded a very confusing question. What does "post" actually mean? I've always considered it to mean "mellow/ambient." My opinion of Hum has always been, "there's some pretty heavy riffs, like metal riffs, but the lead singer has the laziest voice in music." So maybe post-hardcore is accurate for this band?
How many albums feature the band name and album name in their lyrics? Tough quiz, I know.
EDIT: And yes, Stars was THE song.

We Were Promised Jetpacks is so fucking good. God, that name sounds so silly. What's a good album and song to check out? I've always heard good things about them but their name (which is stupid to judge a band on but also totally 100% justified at the same time!) always makes me think of early 2000's emo bands like Boy Hits Car or something.

Boy Hits Car is emo? Fuck, I thought I never liked an emo band before now.
