Guster - Keep It Together
100
With the recent passing of my dog, I've found myself coming back to this album a lot. It means way too much to me for me to have left it with such a lazy review.

Radiohead - In Rainbows Disk 2

6 tracks that stand strongly on their own + MK1 MK 2. They all fit the In Rainbows vibe while simultaneously not fitting the In Rainbows vibe.
