The more I hear the Billy Corgan line, the funnier it gets. Made me laugh out loud driving home today!

They destroyed it when I saw them in 2010 and I met Falco! CUM FACE.

Pretty good, if not as strong as 'Travels With Myself And Another'. Then again, if you take just the best 33 minutes, it might be.
After adding a 2nd guitarist, Welsh rockers Future of the Left concerned fans with a haphazard teaser EP in late 2011... Thankfully, only 1 of those tracks has made it to the quartet's strong 3rd LP 'The Plot Against Common Sense'. Carrying a fuller sound with an infusion of synths, this is the band's most diverse record, if a little unfocused for it. The throbbing riffs & bass-lines return, as does Andy Falkous' cynical & humorous battering of pop culture. Unfortunately, the relentless intensity gets a little exhausting over the 50 minute duration. Recommended Tracks: Notes on Achieving Orbit, I Am the Least of Your Problems, Polymers Are Forever & Failed Olympic Bid.

I was very pleasantly surprised to see a Nathan Barley reference for a change! I've only just heard of these guys when I read an interview with Mike Vennart from Oceansize. I tracked down that hilarious blog post after reading the pitchfork review before even finishing the first paragraph of this review (notwithstanding, my attention span is neither low nor fruitcake splenda mildew.)
After hearing 'Sheena is a T-Shirt Salesman' and 'Robocop 4...', it seems that this sort of music is sincerely intelligent without having any 'thinking man's rock band' attachments due to perceived fatuitous philosophical ambiguity in the lyrics (and yes, I wanted to use the word fatuitous in a vain attempt to sound more intellectual.)
As I've never listened to FotL or Mclusky, at which of their albums would you recommend beginning?

Damn. I'm trying to not form an opinion so fast, but this might be the best band ever.

I like this a lot, but it could use some trimming. It's a little too long for its own good. Great, but prob their weakest release.

Funny how more of my favorite songs are in this album, and there aren't really any bad songs, but this is still pretty easily
my least favorite from these dudes. Also, I've been talking to myself here for almost a year.
