Two hours into the month and six albums, good hustle, good hustle.

I have a treat for you, this is so far my choice as album for the year of 2008 and it is currently head and shoulders above the rest of the crowd, barring a phenomenal new Modest Mouse album i don't think my choice will change, actually even with a new modest mouse album that beats everything else they've done at best it would match this album. Brian Scary and the Shredding Tears with their second album Flight of the Knife. I've spoken to a few people about this and read a few reviews online and it's been described as simiilar to David Bowie, The Beatles, The Who, Queen, ELO, Alan Parsons and according to one person Ozzy Osbourne. The one thing you'll find in common is that every compares it to the greatest bands they like. It's only their second album but it sounds both so mature and yet incredibly inventive. If you download only one thing from this blog make it this. I think in a dozen or so years we'll still be listening to this and remarking how great it was .

This album rocks, At first I thought it was going to be along the same lines of what Little Red do(i like Little Red)but its so much more.

Thanks James
