| 5.0 classic | leehasjust | November 30th 06 |
Okay. For me 5/5. The reason i believe this is a classic, is cause it is simply the most original album I've heard in a long time. My favorite is either "The Tension and the Terror," or "Your Name Here (Sunrise Highway)." "Tension..." is great because it's very upbeat and in my opinion one of John Nolan's best lyrics ever. But that's just me talking. Anyway back to the album in general it's all around amazing because it fuses together the ideas of indie, the music of emo, and the pure talent of 4 amazing song writers. When I first bought this album i didn't like it because I wasn't into Emo OR Indie. Now after owning it for two years, I absolutely love it. I think that it should be listened to by everyone. I do not own their EP "Prepare to be Wrong," I have only heard Hands in the Sky (Big Shot) but from what I heard the genre has changed but it is still absolutely great song writing at its best.
5/5

Emotional and very insightful at times, Straylight Run's debut album is unsurprisingly worthy of the hype it was ever so building up on when it was first issued. The piano arrangements are especially amazing whilst John and Michelle Nolan's vocal performances never make for stiff moments, and the latter is really nice to hear any moment she slightly outshines her brother.

Ultimately, Straylight Run's self titled is an inconsistent album. Why a 5? Well, its kind of hard to justify... the highs on this album are just that good.

A romantic at heart in a strange way -- The first song that my current love interest suggested to me was "Existentialism on Prom Night." Everytime that song plays I have to remind myself not to giggle or blush... But I promise you I will bell out every word of the song.
