Popular Songs may become my favorite album by them. It's the first time I got to see them in concert, and they're one of the best live bands I've ever seen. I love how they threw the three longest songs at the end. More Stars Than There Are in Heaven is my favorite tune... possibly of all time by them (The Story of Yo La Tango is hard to beat though). And the Glitter Is Gone is insane... I swear I hear voices in the middle of the song, but they're inaudible. By Two's is another stand out track for me... so pretty and mysterious. Here to Fall is a great opener and Avalon or Someone Very Similar is a great follow up. Periodically Double or Triple was my favorite song to hear live... followed by All Your Secrets. I love, love, love this album.
