There is not one bad song on the album, And each of them varies from the one before but something grips them together, beit his voice, his technique, his lyrics, or just consistent excelence, and talent. Fooking spectacular.

i always thought "O" by damien rice was quite good.

heard of him?

Fantabulous!!

lol.. no I don't have the album- though after a lot of begging from a friend, i now have that song on a cd. Which album are u talking about? In a not-so-sober state on Saturday evening I found two of his LPs in my parents cd collection- neither have that song on them, but I'm told they're brilliant nonetheless. If i was at a home i'd be able to tell ya what they're called but ..I'm not!

PenguinBoy · 08-30-2005, 08:04 PM

the album is called solid air! it's called amazing, and it's apparently his best.

The Stills are so overlooked, they can so easilly be mistaken as being cheap cliché pop rock. They take a closer listen i found. They're so over looked that i haven't listened to the album for ages. i just re-realised that it's one of the best ever albums of all time.

Logic will Break your Heart - The Stills

it manages to sum up everyday feelings and worries in such perfectly fitting metaphor and symbolism. and the music itself is just so mellow and up beat at times. Love it. Some of the instramental bits on it manage to be so emotional as they go on... wow... it's amazing what u can comunicate with just music. not that the lyrics themselves aren't stupidly amazing, i dno anything about the band but they're songwriter is a genious.

as i said it takes careful listening to capture its' mature & subtle excelence. but when u do, it's simply brilliant.
