Transistor is my favorite, it's S.A.'s science themed album. It's the band's album, too, but I call it S.A.'s because I think he wrote the lyrics for over 90% of the songs. He talks about out of body experiences, free energy, and several interesting subjects.

Soundsystem deals a lot with science, too, mostly computer age stuff, but yeah Transistor is their best, because it really captures what makes them great, mostly really chill, mellow songs, with a few good rock songs thrown in. They're great to listen to if you feel upbeat and positive, or just really relaxed, or stoned.:yeah:

their later stuff might not be like that, i haven't heard anything beyond "transistor". i don't really have anything against them. music, and that blue album were ok. i know alot of island people, i hear the accent every day.
hearing it from them is just strange to me, that's all.

I played Grassroots non-stop today. I don't know why that isn't a more acclaimed album...

I like it too but there new album hasn't received positive reviews; I haven't listened to the whole thing yet. I think at this point in there career they are a live band because they put too much crappy-ballad-filler on their albums these days. Music, Grassroots, and 311 still pwn though! :yeah:

That would be even more boring.
