>_>

the autumns have three albums: THE ANGEL POOL, IN THE RUSSET GOLD OF THIS VAIN HOUR, and THE AUTUMNS
I've been thinking about each one pretty hardly. My favorite, hands down, is their self-titled album. I've seen it noted that each one of the autumn's albums seems to tell a particular story or have a particular theme. In THE AUTUMNS the main theme is the ocean. Almost every song has referrece to the sea and the very music itself sometimes reminds me of the beach boys. But the reason this one is my favorite is because I think it has the best songwriting of the three. It's hard to say that songs like "Hush, Plain Girls," "Slumberdoll," and "Wish Stars." aren't beautiful and exciting.
