Spanish rock bands are having an absolute unit of a year: Los Estanques, Mujeres and Futuro Terror are all set to make my top 5 this year. In the case of Los Estanques, that's 2 years in a row.
The Ocean was the first "leaked" song I ever found online. Also, even the cornier songs on this album (their weakest LP IMO) are straight rippers live.
I had head his previous albums in passing when this came out but this is the one that started my obsession. It's hard to pick a favorite Elliott Smith album but this one definitely holds a special place for me. Pop Rock perfection.
'I Got Next' is an incredible album that I still listen to all the time. I'd call it flawless but he tries his hand at rock on one track and I've had resting bitch face ever since the first time I heard it.
There's a lot of S/T era Elliott Smith influence on Anak Ko. And it doesn't surprise me that an album that was so excellent start to finish has such high quality leftovers. Jay Som is better than your favorite artist.
