After much listening, I've yet to be convinced of the worthiness of either of these albums. I pick TV on the Radio, Dear Science, begrudgingly...
TV on the Radio just stress me out. Too many things are happening, and I don't really care. I guess I just don't get the awesomeness.
Frightened Rabbit have a song called Keep Yourself Warm that totally sucks. Sample lyrics below:
"my hole, I'll get my hole, I'll get my hole
Get my hole, get my hole and I'll find out more
It's a choo-choo train, a rocket launch
If we have a hormone race
I'm bound to finish first."
"it takes more than fucking someone you don't know, to keep warm"
This kind of over-sharing is unforgivable. Does he want her to "peg" him? Who cares.
TV on the Radio win because they don't sing overtly about fucking.
