phosphor-us this has become one of the albums i go back and listen all the way through once in a while. picking a favorite track is almost arbitrary 'cause they're all so good! but this one probably gets stuck in my head the most, so, Favorite track: Portico.

mxsparks i hear these songs and i feel alive and bitter and pretty Favorite track: Modern Marvel.

jackdaw503 I've been waiting for this for so long. <3 Crankbox has been one of the few bands I've ever really loved. It's been influential in my coming out and their work has gotten me through a lot over the years.

This is an incredible track and incredible album. <3 Favorite track: Hard Candy.
