Just A Moment

Album of the year, hands down. From the obsessively intricate production to the roller-coaster song structure, Just A Moment is a true masterpiece. The best thing is that it doesn't have any of that self-conscious bullshit you get with the arrogant types who usually try something this monumental. Even with the crazy production techniques the songs remain raw and screaming, much like the dual male/female vocal style. That's the one thing the might turn off most first-time listeners. But if you can get used to it (and you will) you'll be treated to some of the best post-whatever rock anywhere.
