I love this. So much indie-pop amazingness. Terrific songwriting that never gets stale. Stephin Merritt is the man.

Of course a near 3-hour album that I haven't heard yet would come up as AotD on the day I have the least time to listen to it D:

Oh well, I like Stephen Merritt, so I'm sure it'll be worth it.

[SuedeSwede]

Love love love this.

Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic album. To be hailed as a classic and a prime example of pop songwriting in the years to come I hope.

[RockyRaccoon]

Often times it's goofy as shit and I love it for that.

I love a lot of the songs off here. I have never listened to all three docs in a row. I usually jut take one and work through it gradiently. Then move on to other interests. This album deserves a revisit.

"I think I need a new heart" used to be my wake up call. Excellent stuff.

I'll listen to it on a rainy day.

Of course, it's a really long album. If you cut down the filler tracks though, you still have about 80 minutes of fantastic songs.

I think the vinyl version of this goes for around $500 And I've never even seen a CD copy.
