I love it, but it's the kind of love for something that so perfectly encapsulates a period of time in my life. My life in amber, Pablo Honey.

A lot of the songs off it come across really well live - listening to old bootlegs meant I was able to appreciate the album. The best tracks are actually great, and some B-sides from that era (Faithless, the Wonder Boy especially) are amazing.

I slept on The Bends for way too long - I'd come into the experimental side - and it's astonishing. When shit like Bones and (Nice Dream) doesn't even make the top half of songs off your album, you rule.

Their last two have actually been the worst since Pablo. Saddens you to see what happened. There's some conspiracy theories that AMSP might be their last album, and frankly that would be okay with me. (Except for never seeing them live.)
