Now that I'm reminded, I've got to renew my love for them.
Yeah i definitely grew to love Dean's voice since i first heard it, it sounds unique and has a real raw feeling of emotion in it. His voice suits the pain and loneliness of his lyrics perfectly.

This Is Our Music is my second favourite album. It's not as immediate as On Fire but you really grow to love songs like 'Fourth Of July, 'Spook' and their cover of 'Listen, The Snow Is Falling'. The extended instrumental section at the end of the latter is incredible, the actual song itself seduces you and draws you right in and then the instrumental section blows your mind. Probably the highlight of the album for me.
