Hum fucking rule. I bought "You'd Prefer an Astronaut" many many years ago for $3 at a pawn shop.. it was good enough, especially the first song, but the sound of it kinda got tiring (too drifty and Abercrombie&Fitch-core at times, though the effects were great). However, I decided to download "Downward is Heavenward" and I realized that not only was it one of the best albums of all time, but I hadn't paid close enough attention to the genius of "Astronaut". So, yeah, those two albums are amazing, I know they have a few other things, but I'd reccomend everyone get "Downward". Another killer first song (the time changes on that are hard to follow and the way the guitar overdubs slink in and out are insane -- you'll know exactly what I'm talking about when you hear it!). Huge effects-heavy walls of guitar with beautiful lyrics and soft melodic vocals. Great. One of a kind. Space-rock and whatnot.
