The New Pornographers: Twin Cinema

These guys do power pop indie rock better than everyone. It's smart, it's upbeat... catchy... and most of all.. creative as hell. Like Brian Wilson, they can take a pop song and turn it into something that transcends genres and styles. While I like all of their albums (maybe not their newest so much), I think that Twin Cinema is probably the best thing they've done. This is the album where they really matured from more than just a poppy indie rock band into masters of their craft. I can listen to EVERY SINGLE track on this album front to back without getting bored or losing interest once. Even some of my favorite albums of all time can't boast that quality. Besides... A.C. Newman and Neko Case in the same band... what more could you ask for?
