stars "set yourself on fire"

Amy's vocal performance on 'Are You Ok? is stunning. I think it's a great record.
Steven Hyden had this great line recently that I think applies here-"Sometimes the worst sin a band can commit is doing the same thing really well for an extended period."

they're kind of my comfort food of music at this point. likely my most played band of the last 10+ years.

Set Yourself On Fire was a very, very good album and I really don't think they've matched it since.

"no one of lost" sounds like an ilx top 20 album, no one even nominated last year

"no one *is* lost"

No One Is Lost definitely their best album since In Our Bedroom After The War imo, though not quite as good as that one and Set Yourself On Fire. still pretty dang good though.

hah oh yeah, that's why cryptosicko said. i agree!

im glad that gr8080 got into stars

(I wasn't familiar with the original)

Haven't cared abot them in ages but the "Streetlights" cover is really nice. Maybe the only instance of white people covering Kanye without embarrassing themselves/the listener.

They have a new release, "There Is No Love In Fluorescent Light". it's good too.
8 albums in they are still churning out some consistently good-to-great albums. I mean "Are you ok?"'s new-orderism's may be one of my favorite songs in their catalogue. (also going through a break-up, so heavy rotation for Stars).
