Decided to go on a bit of a spotify spree, just listened to a few albums in a row while playing on the XBox. Top 3:
1. The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love. Really brilliant actually, sort of past me by the first few times, then did some reading and decided to focus more on the lyrics. Some beautiful lyrics, and haunting melodies. Top stuff.
2. Julian Casablancas - Phrazes For The Young. Solid effort for a debut(?) album. Like what I've heard of The Strokes so decided to give this a go. Bit more poppy than I expected, but still enjoyed it nevertheless.
3. Vampire Weekend - Contra. Brilliant, brilliant album. Can't promote it enough, continues in the same vain as the debut, if not a little bit better. 5/5
