Awesome Album
The rest of their library is still great, but this album just has that mystique that the others don't quite reach. This is the Stills best album by far, in my opinion.


Consistent imitation
Throw in one part Doves, half a pint of Travis, and a dash of old U2 and we have an album that still does not end up sounding as stale as it sounds. LWBYH sounds like Radiohead if they continued being the poppy, ever-so-slightly-and-depressively-edgy alternative after Pablo Honey. Then again, nothing sounds terribly memorable either. A disc that gets by on a consistent number of halfway-decent songs, but fades away after play is done. .


and im not even a huge indie rock fan
and i hate the ones who list the killers and the strokes as their favorite "indie" band. i look down upon people who say "i like indie rock" but dont know the stills.

this album is the best of its genre. Simple but catchy rhythms, beautiful chords and layering, and smooth vocals. It has a upbeat yet melancholy, dreamy sound. Kind of an arty sound and aesthetic to it. lots of personality.

i hear the new one is mediocre but i love this album, most people who have heard it do.


Indie popsters find niche in familiar post punk guitar pop
This is their best release by far, every song heart-wrenchingly wrought forward with layered guitars and superb lyrics. The Stills are a Montreal indie rock band who write expertly woven melodies crafted in the familiar niche of swirly-80s-post-punksters like Echo & The Bunnymen or The Church, but add a unique neo-vibe which finds them comfortable next to say, Interpol or Bloc Party. If you like a comfortable mix of brit pop influence, a dash of romanticism and depression, finely crafted into guitar heavy pulsating riffs, then this is for you! Fans of The Walkmen rejoice--this is the better purchase of the two~this LP is packed full of college radio singles, including "Gender Bombs" and "Changes Are No Good. ".


and if the first song doesn't get you ...
The great tearing riff over delay pedal cuts you into submission for the sweet songs later in the album. I'll have to nominate "Lola Stars and Stripes" as one of the best first song. Amazing tones, wide soaring tracks and simple melodies. Great Canadian album from both Montreal . . . both The Stills and Vice Recordings . . . .
