Love can be completely irrational. Example in point: me and The Magic Numbers. Can I justify why I feel so deeply for this record? Hell no. But for me, this is the one of the best albums released in the 00s, and as such, one of the best ever. Seriously. Like all the greatest love stories, this makes me feel like a child again, living life without a care in the world. Like The Pixies, if all their songs sounded like "Winterlong", "Velouria", and "Gigantic". "Forever Lost", "Love's A Game", "Hymn For Her", "Morning's Eleven", and "Love Me Like You" are all totally flawless to these ears, and I'd only sacrifice "Try" if forced to. I don't expect anybody to feel the same way, and to be honest I've given up recommending this album to people because I know there's a good chance that I like this more than any other sentient being who isn't actually a member of this band. But hey. I fall in love a little every time I hear this so whatever.
