"Used to be one of the rotten ones, and I liked you for that."

The string of songs from Looks Just Like The Sun to Cause = Time is pretty much perfect. Not to say the rest of the album isn't excellent too, because it is.

Favourite Tracks: Cause = Time, Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl, Looks Just Like The Sun, Almost Crimes, Pacific Theme, Pitter Patter Goes My Heart
