From the melodies, to the lyrics, to the overall feel and sound.
You can continue to enjoy Plans whilst I'll listen to the band's actual gems.  |
Not trying to take sides but i would agree in the same way that their older stuff please ME more. Stress the ME. And i also listened to Plans first and then dug into their old stuff and for myself their older stuff has much more emotion and thats just simply more of the music i prefer.
