Advantages: Huge depth in song quality and lyrics

Disadvantages: Many people havent found the album, and some people may hate Los Campesinos!

After my friends recommended Los Campesinos! to me i found them to be a brilliant band, composing of 7 members who play a fairly wide variety of instruments and combine this with witty lyrics. After hearing their second album, 'We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed' and seeing them live i still believe that this, their first album contains some of the best songs they have produced. From the short catchy 'My Year In Lists' with lyrics such as 'Nothing says 'I miss you' quite like war poetry carved in your door with a Stanley knife' to the long 'You!, Me!, Dancing!' with its catchy chorus and long intro. As well as having some very good songs the album has great depth to it with very little placed in as filler. Tracks like 'This Is How You Spell "Hahaha, We Destroyed The Hopes And Dreams Of A Generation Of Faux-Romantics"' one of the longest song titles i have seen, and 'We Are All Accelerated Readers' add even more depth to the album with more catchy lyrics. For example 'Knee Deep at ATP' contains the lyrics 'So, maybe the lining of a winter's coat mightn't be the best place to hide a summer secret' and is a song about relationships and breakup but while being sad, contains enjoyable lyrics and is a very enjoyable listen.

Summary: One of my favourite albums of recent times
