Albums That Are Important To Me
Just albums that are important to me, not necessarily music I like just
have some significance to me. No particular order. And also share the
albums that you deem important to you. |
| 1 |  | The Receiving End of Sirens
The Earth Sings Mi Fa Mi
This has been my favourite album for around four years. A place I escape to. |

out about this record from an interview with TREOS singer/bassist Brendan Brown. |

Dying Is Your Latest Fashion
One of my best friends from college loved this album. |
| 4 |  | The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die

some of their lyrics. Don't know if it was very romantic or anything but meh. Great
album too. |
| 6 |  | Acceptance
Phantoms
This and Mayday Parade remind me of a time when I hung out with my brother
more. Was nice. Going for runs probably not so much but it's probably the closest
I've ever felt to my brother. |
| 7 |  | Addison
To the Ends of the Earth
Great local band. I saw them twice. The hardcore scene in Bay of Plenty used to be
pretty awesome. Go to concerts most months was really great. |

cathartic record. |

This is the record I find solace in when I'm down. Such beautifully dense and
crushing affair. |

anger. |
