I think this may actually be my favourite Arctics song. I love the lyrics and vocal.

It's my least favourite but it's still enjoyable.

My fav early song is Fake Tales of San Fransisco. That song rocks pretty hard.

Suck It and See changed my life. Not kidding. Although, there are a couple of bad songs. Brick by Brick and Don't Sit Down Because I Moved Your Chair

It's just such a strong mood album. Captures a really unique feeling. Lines like "be cruel to me cause I am a fool for you" are also something I have never heard before and thry really speak to me. Ro yeah, lyrics, mood, and also good song-writing. It's just a great album.

Some of the stuff on Whatever People Say I Am has really clicked with me. Some bad lyrics though. One way or another it's authentic.

There are some damn strong songs on their debut (which I wrote off in 2006).

I think that record is lightning in a bottle. I'm not a big fan of the Vampires song, but the rest is pretty much perfect.

Trying to go through the b-sides now. Not too many stand-outs. BlondeOSonicShimmerTrap is great though.
