that sounds awesome, downloading it now. how does the rest of their discography stack up?

I have Nirvana, Tool and Joy Division, although on the whole i haven't been able to 'get' joy division.

I've been meaning to check out the cure and the smiths, where do you recommend I start?

The rest of the discography is pretty solid, I have everything by them on my ipod actually. This is the ranking of their albums:

Control>
Achilles Heel>
Whole (EP, but deserves to be here)>
Progress>
Winner's Never Quit>
The Only Reason I Feel Secure (Another EP, but with 8 tracks, it's pretty solid)>
Progress (EP, but a good solid four tracks)>
It's Hard To Find A Friend

Just thought I'd send him something mellow since it'd fit the criteria. And I guess he basically dug it, lol.

Well I just found the song to be completely unrelated to anything Minus the Bear has ever done.

Wait, so you found out, as in someone told you and affected your opinion, or you just stopped liking their sound on your own?

i didn't listen to them for over a year. then i redownloaded them and was bored by most of it.

I need something with piano. Some slow, emotive piano. In fact, it should be mostly piano...and not jazz piano. Any suggestions?

There's a group I know called Abandoned Toys that might be up your alley. As far as I know their only album is their 2008 release Witches Garden which features mostly classical piano.

Thanks! They were both good but the second one is just what I'm looking for. Any more suggestions are much appreciated.
