I saw this band open for Metallica in 2002 (I think). And they rocked. They were good, very good. The group I was with were all blown away by just how good the "I stand alone" band were.
This album doesn't do them justice. I enjoyed them live. While there was nothing wrong with this collection... It was missing the raw and exciting sound I remember.

45: Horses - Patti Smith
Old school punk at its best. I enjoyed this a lot. Some of it felt a little esoteric for me to fully appreciate in the car while driving but very good all the same.

44: A Grand Doesn't Come For Free - The Streets
Since I have been returning to "Original Pirate material" many times I figured I'd give no. 2 a go.
It took 3 plays to get into this one. A long time and perseverance. But I'm glad I did. A concept album which tells a story. It was like enjoying a film while I drove.
I did so many miles that I ended up also listening to "Everything Is Borrowed" which is actually album 4 (oops). I didn't hear a full story going on through it but it was more up beat (I suppose the result of being successful with music) with a more positive stance on things.
