For those that are tired of me talking about this band or this album, sorry.

I was just thinking with the cross-genre nature of the album again and i think that this album, Evil Urges, has produced some of the best, if not the best, songs i heard last year across a few genres. It had an incredible ambient/electronic song (Touch Me I'm Going to Scream Pt. 1&2), the best alt-country song (I'm Amazed), the best funk/freakout song (Highly Suspicious), the best soft rock James Taylor impersonation (Sec Walkin'), a great guitar heavy rock song (Aluminum Park) and a song that eludes my classification, but is just lyrically and emotively awesome (Smoking From Shooting).

I think such a wide variety of people would appreciate an album like this, especially those who would appreciate the band's effort cross boundaries and make something worth that can't rated with five stars on a toolbar. My buddy talked recently about music becoming "disposable" as we download and borrow more and more. The next time you download a really great album just think, would you go to a museum and take a photo of a beautiful painting or watch cell phone videos of a great play? This album needs to be appreciated and owned by listeners.

I would include some links to these songs but until then go here and buy it the old fashioned way:
