You just said it sucks...?
The only album I haven't got is La Foret, but everything else by the band is just fucking astounding.
I tend to lump Knife Play and A Promise together in my head, despite obvious differences... they were my first two, and they fucked my head up. Some of the melodies on those two albums are enough to make a man end his life.
Fabulous Muscles is goddamn brilliant, I'd say, same deal... some songs on it just destroy me... I can hardly listen to Little Panda McElroy or Mike without at least getting lumps in my throat. And the more upbeat songs are just fucking killer.
The Air Force was tied as my favourite album of 2006... Lots of really fucking great tunes, not to mention a couple of my all-time favourite XX songs (Save Me Save Me, The Fox & The Rabbit, vulturepiano...)
Women As Lovers was nonstop in the majority of my media-playing devices (minus record player...) for a few days at least... literally nothing by Women As Lovers. The only problem I have with it is that there aren't any moments that specifically stand out as putting-me-on-the-fucking-brink-of-tears (would list a whole ton of such moments, but there are just too many...)
Standouts from WAL: FTW, No friend Oh!, White Nerd...
