Containing the best single song of the year ("Thursday") is enough to get this album into the top 10 for the year, but it's the rest of the album that gets it to number two (well, #3 really, but The Black Spoon's "The History of Modern Silence" isn't in the server). Superb shoegaze from one of NY's most underappreciated bands. This album is a must. -- bsd987
