[quote="du&sku"]I vote:

Nine Inch Nails, With Teeth (better than you'd expect)


I hoped that it would be but, alas, I thought that it was terrible.

I'll add Darrin's favorite album:

The National - Alligator

Enough has been said about this album in other threads, so holler at a search function.

I love it. I think it's a perfect step forward for them. The sound is a bit more muscular musically, and I think it's a huge improvement over All is Dream, which I really don't like at all - they'd already covered that ground, better, on Deserter's Songs. Why do it again? Get the two-disc version - packaging is very nice, and the bonus disc is actually worth getting.

I thought we had discussed Crooked Fingers on Colinswood. Maybe that was someone else. If you want, feel free to grab at it.
