I don't know, dudes, I mean, Forgiveness Rock Record. It's just brilliant!!
this isn't meant as a diss -- genuinely curious -- why do people like this band?

You Forgot It In People is a massively over-hyped, over-rated indie rock record with one great song: "Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl"

Let's just say they polarize people. Between people with good taste and people who like grunge jam bands.
― Brio, Friday, 19 February 2010 17:43 (fourteen years ago) link
I love the muddy, layered sound of both albums. It is a cliche, but it really rewards repeated listening. I can totally see how that isn't everyone's thing though. Plus they usually put on a hell of a live show.
― sofatruck, Friday, 19 February 2010 17:43 (fourteen years ago) link
"World Sick" is really good.
― Seriously what the hell is wrong with you that you think that is a great t (ksh), Friday, 19 February 2010 17:47 (fourteen years ago) link
You Forgot It is a fine fine record. The self-titled follow-up is perhaps the most overproduced record of all time, and that may be understating the case.
My favorite song of theirs remains New Country, which you'll find as track 3 here.

― call all destroyer, Friday, 19 February 2010 20:42 (fourteen years ago) link
word. and good songs that when given room to breathe live kicked ass, and in acoustic sets for radio turned out to be kind of awesome folk-rock.
YFIIP is wonderful in that it's front-to-back amazing and also sort of a grab bag. like changing dials on a radio.
New Country is def. one of their best tunes and the Fast Mix of Major Label Debut should have/could have been an actual hit. but for my money, their shining moment is the off-kilter summertime jam 7/4 (Shoreline) - those horns!

truly awful title though. of course, keep in mind that the self-titled was supposed to be called windsurfing nation
