^^That's the only Pale Saints album I have and I absolutely love it. But, for some reason I still haven't heard other albums and they didn't have many, only three I think. I just know they can't be better than The Comforts of Madness, as it's pretty much perfect. Sea of Sound and Sight of You are highlights for me, but all songs are great.

You should check out their second album In Ribbons as well. While it's not quite on par as The Comforts Of Madness it certainly has it's great moments and is worth a good listen. The production is a good bit better as well.

^I definitely need to hear more from Pale Saints, so thanks for suggestion. The only song that's not on their first album that I've heard is Kinky Love. It's a nice song, I even remember a video spot for it. They got a female singer after the first album, right? from Lush?

'Kinky Love' was a Nancy Sinatra cover they released, i haven't seen the video for it though.
True, original Lush vocalist Meriel Barham joined as a second guitarist and shared lead vocal duties on In Ribbons. In Ribbons isn't as shoegazey as The Comforts Of Madness, it's tilted more towards straight-ahead indie rock, but a great album none the less.

I gave Envy's new album, "Recitation" a spin tonight. It slays, probably the most well rounded, biggest, most engaging Envy album yet. Needs many more listens for sure.

I got the reissue. Ah...So refreshing. Like a cold drink of water.

Awesome package this one is. The live disc is crazy good, so much energy, especially Tannhauser, which is my favorite Refused song live or studio.

I'm kinda afraid to get anything else by Refused because I worry it won't be the same quality... :/

They have one previous album, IIRC. And from the article I read in some music magazine, it's very different stylistically from TSOPTC.
