    Yes, I love this band. High Violet has to be one of the best records of the past 5 years, in my opinion.

    It is for sure, but you can't go wrong with Boxer, self-titled, Alligator or Sad Songs For dirty Lovers either :)

    Yeah I love them too. I found that Bloodbuzz Ohio is a great work out song. Whenever I'm running, I have it set as my "power song" so when I need that extra push, I put that on.

    I love this band dearly! They have quickly become a favorite band of mine over the last year (having not discovered them until last summer with High Violet). Just got the Cherry Tree EP on vinyl and it sounds so good!

    Thought I posted in another thread for this band earlier, but sometimes the search function for this forum doesn't work all that well.

    If only. I think they've only played here once in 2005. Bum deal.

    There are at least 2 - 3 other threads about these guys in this forum ... becuse I know I've pulled the whole "use search" post on others that started ones up. And I've posted pics, etc etc etc.

    DC - High Violet is a great album, but I gotta admit, I think it falls short of Alligator or Boxer.

    And let's not forget the first two albums. I love the self titled album even if it's got more of a country twang than they've shown recently (probably why you'd love it DC). Beautiful Head is probably one of my favorite songs, completely fitting as the first song on the first album ...

    And Sad Songs ... hell, Available is right up there as one of my faves as well.

    I'm in Boston that weekend, it's a quick trip so I haven't been able to commit to this concert, but it's on my short list of things to do.

    I'll admit, I've yet to venture into their earlier stuff. I listened to a bit of Alligator last night via Grooveshark and I enjoyed it. I noticed the difference in the sound on that record and that of Boxer (which I agree, is fantastic). It's very cool that they have, at least for the most part I think, had a hand or complete control over producing their records... gives them all a genuine feeling.

    I'm in serious need of getting new music, I haven't for a while... the list I've compiled is getting to be quite large. :)

    Just wanted to say their last three albums i'll put up against anyone's last three.

    Not saying they are the best last three, but they can be in the discussion with anyone out there.

    All were so damn good
