This Week's Albums

I should have heard this ages ago... →
Band: The Temper Trap
Album: Conditions
Track: Sweet Disposition
This is a damn fine song from an ok-but-could-be-better album (it’s not a bad album, don’t get me wrong). It’s got the epic riffs of Muse, the melancholia of Smashing Pumpkins, and the stomping indie-rock drive of Phoenix.
