Whilst on jury duty I had to listen to a similar conversation for 20 minutes...I nearly committed a crime myself, just so I could be taken away.

First time in history anyone has every volunteered to serve on a jury RIGHT NOW FFS.
Nah, it was a "he said, she said" case of sexual assault and both of them were on drugs at the time of the alleged incident...no, thank you. I don't wanna' have to decide who was flying higher than the other. Nightmare.

Was my least favourite of their albums (huge fan of theirs) but I liked the slight style shift and I thought it was a good, cohesive record.

I like it a lot. Especially the first half. I preferred Swoon a bit though. I haven't really listened to Carnavas or Pikul so can't really offer an educated opinion on those.
It's really solid though. So many records, even the good ones, you can't just put on an listen all the way through, but you can with them.

Anustart
Definitely.
Pikul's okay, but it's an EP and unrefined naturally as their first release. Swoon is ace but Carnavas is my favourite. There are some gorgeous tracks on that:

Is it me or is there a clear line to Gish-era Smashing Pumpkins with these?
RFUS
Anustart
Aye. That's the comparison they get -- often as a critique.
I like it though. I'm a Smashing Pumpkins fan but I think SSPU are far mellower and more considered. I find myself enjoying their stuff on a less... inconsequential level, if that makes any sense. Some of their songs have a lot more emotional gravitas than the Pumpkins -- at least for me, anyway.

For me that's not a bad thing. I liked the Pumpkins, especially the early stuff.
But I like Silversun better tbh for the reasons you said. Not as over the top so for me more emotional impact.

Plus I think they proved, beyond a doubt, with their newest album that they're not a Pumpkins tribute band and they have a fresh sound of their own to bring to the table.
But yeah, glad you like them. They're one of the few bands I adore that I very rarely see anyone else on here talk about.

In relation to my last post, if you like electronic music then there's some decent underground stuff in the Hotline Miami soundtrack:

Don't care what you think about the music...Stewart Copeland, like a g'damn boss.
