I'm in that "many" category as well....The War Criminal Rises and Speaks is one of the best damned songs I've ever heard by any artist.

senator, if you liked BSB that much, there's no way you won't like the appendix. amazingly, the songs are every bit as good and any of them would have been right at home on the record.

i think you'd probably also like "down the river of golden dreams," which many people (tommy, case in point) like even better than bsb, and which is pretty similar in style. "don't fall in love with everyone you see" (one of my favorite titles ever) is definitely weaker overall, but has some devastating songs (red, lady liberty, westfall) and would not be a bad buy/download for a fan of bsb either.


Red (the poster) said she got her name from that song, and the verse she posted from it caught my eye. Can't wait to hear this. Thanks, Haq-y Baby

Also, i don't wanna point fingers or nuthin', but who the shit voted for KAISER CHIEFS?! Come on, out with it! Identify yourselves!


I did. You see, I heard the album and enjoyed it enough that when I compiled a year end list I found that, relative to my own tastes of course, it ranked within the Top 20.


I had it as well...I didn't realize until recently that they generated such a strong reaction

I think you could throw a rock and hit something on the full list that's worse than Kaiser Chiefs.

I liked their song "Oh My God". "I Predict A Riot" wasn't bad either.

I liked the Kaiser Chiefs too. I don't remember if I voted for it or not, as I voted so long ago. :P I'd have to research threads.
