Sunset Rubdown Dragonslayer
8 Songs long, but all of them fantastic. Been a Sunset fan since the beginning, but this is the first album where I can honestly say I like every song.
Idiot heart, Apollo and the Buffalo and Anna Anna Anna Oh!, a much improved version of Paper Lace (from the original, on Swan Lake's Enemy Mine) and You Go On Ahead, are the real standouts, but they're all good.

Only one good thing about this album, and its Are You Swimming in Her Pools, which is easily one of my favourite songs of all time. One song, that's it, and it's a group with two members, Spencer Krug and Dan Bejar, that I really like in other groups.
Dissapointing album, except for that one fantastic song, which saves it from getting an awful.
Their new one, Enemy Mine, is a lot better, but still not nearly as good as Bejar's Destroyer work, or Krug's Sunset Rubdown/Wolf Parade.
