Great comments. Well thought out. This band took my breath away when I caught up with them a few years after their first few EP and MLIC release by hearing Moaning Lisa on the radio (not following up though or finding out name of band even) then I caught Beautifully Unconventional on radio a year or two later and wanted to know name of band. Then Realised it was same guys that made MLS. NOW I had to follow them up on UA-cam and started with She (Blew me away) the rest of their EP's and MLIC. Best band I have come across in years... Agree with their growth through next two albums. Not sure which is my favourite though Blue Weekend was non stop repeat listening unlike their second album which was a real slow burn for me.
First off thanks for the lengthy response, I enjoy comments like this. Secondly, I have to agree with almost everything you said. The 2nd album wasn't as much of a slow burn for me, but to be honest I haven't revisited MLIC in sooo long. I think song for song, blue weekend is their best followed by VOAL, Then MLIC, for now at least. I'm actually listening to MLIC again as I type this and I think I forgot how good it is. I saw them perform moaning lisa smile live, it's one of the songs that really caught my attention to the band as a whole, but ultimately that goes to "Bros" and "Your Loves Whore" Definitely one of the best bands I've come across over the years. It's nice to come across another fan after all of this time. I should really get the vinyl of the 2nd album to complete the collection. It's been a few years I bet within the next year, we get another album by them. It's pretty weird to me even if I don't love their music at first, it almost always grows on me without a doubt. This re-listen of MLIC has been so great, I've slept on this album for far to long and I have to say, its better than the 2nd album, which I didn't think was the case for a long time. The 2nd album is definitely more aggressive or rock based, but is still good overall. Thanks for commenting and watching
