Just recently got into this band. Catchiest music I've heard in a while, I know half the lyrics off by heart already. Nice and laid back compared to my usual tastes.
Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia is an example of that real musical rarity; an album without a single bad track, nor one that is anything less than stellar.
i always thought of 13 tales to be one of their weakest albums. not saying its bad or anything, everything DW releases is superb, but 13 tales just never hit it off with me. i prefer Come Down or The Dandy's Rule OK?
The first two albums were good, but for me TTFUB is them at their peak. Everything they've done after it pales in comparison. I think it's much more focused and well put together than their first two aswell, and you just can't fault songs like Nietzsche, Mohammed and Godless which sound like My Bloody Valentine colliding with Arcade Fire. And then you've got the perfectly formed pop songs like Solid, Big Indian and Cool Scene. Man it's just got everything. Love that album from top to bottom.
I've only listened to Welcome to the Monkey House, but it was one of those albums which I listened to for the first time and fell in love with it immediately
