Most of you might know Marcy Playground from Sex and Candy and consider them a one hit wonder type band. But their other albums are amazing.

Shapeshifter is a masterpiece.

    Even that album with "Sex and Candy" on it was pretty damn good. They played here recently, didn't go see them, but I was interested to know how it was. I just don't consider myself a big enough fan to go to a show of theirs.

    Shapeshifter is amazing and I think All The Lights Went Out is awesome. Wave Motion Gun is great as well. ;) Leaving Wonderland...in A Fit Of Rage is a great album too. :D

    All the Lights Went Out is one of my all time favorite tunes. Fit of rage is good too.. I wish they made more albums! There is a rare album that may not be an official release, called Zog Bogbean. Its the lead singers fisrt recordings from his bedroom or something, but they sound professional and polished.
