With bangers like 'Waiting to Hit' and Falling from Cloud 9 this album is something to behold. Opener and closer are great as well. Please check the recent remastering. Gets better upon listening to it more. But it is clear from the start that the drums are killer
mewithoutYou Brother, Sister
Brother, Sister was the first mwY album I heard. Tried some songs, freaking hated it, dismissed the band, hated the vocal style, everything. Then I heard 'In a sweater poorly knit' some time later and decided it was a good song. Might as well try the whole album again. OMG how did I not realize this is fucking amazing. Perfect mix of post-hardcore and indie rock. Mindblowing lyrics, awesome vocals, awesome drumming, awesome guitars. I have become a total mwY fanboy. Passion. Poetry. This album man. No I am not religious.
mewithoutYou Catch For Us the Foxes
mewithoutYou Pale Horses
This album really is a grower. Felt underwhelmed listening to it the first couple of times. But yeah, in the end this is one of their best (although everything they have done is great). The album flows really well, it is over before you know it....

You can feel the pain of Gavin Clark while listening to this album. Truly an overlooked classic that hits very hard. Hard Sun has become one of my favourite songs of all time.

Really depressing album. The Mansion gets me everytime.

The follow-up to acclaimed album the Glow Pt. 2 might seem dissappointing at first, but the patient listener is rewarded.

Unwound Leaves Turn Inside You
Even without this album Unwound has one of the most solid discographies ever. But yeah this exists and deserves nothing less than a 5. Brilliant album, lyrically and musically. I want a reunion.
Unwound New Plastic Ideas
This might be the best Unwound album after Leaves Turn Inside you. Good stuff

Unwound The Future of What
Underappreciated greatness by Unwound. Descension, Petals like bricks, Dissappoint, Swan are all classics and the whole album kicks ass.
Unwound Fake Train
You can't go wrong with Unwound. Contains one of the best songs ever: Valentine Card/Kantina/Were, are and was or is
