best indie shit out there.

This album does nothing but grow on you. As strong as it is the first few times you listen to it, it's far better after more. Also, this is a band that is a must see. I had no idea the show would be as good as it was. The songs were even stronger live, leaving me pretty confident that it was the best show I've ever seen.
Jamie R gave it a 9:
Unreal...Fat bass licks mixed with good guitar riffs. The keyboard melodies although quiet is the key ingredient. Bry's Tom Waits-esque makes you hurt yourself singing along, but singing along to a catchy album like this is something you cant control.
Mitch B gave it a 10:
These songs are perfectly composed to emphasize the poetic lyrics and the intricate, yet intense melodies. The Constantines are prophets.
Seth P gave it a 10:
Wow. This is a breath of fresh air.
Trevor P gave it a 10:
Oh boy. Oh boy. Seriously. Buy this album.
