Yeah that can be a bit of a life changer, was for me at seventeen anyway.
f*** man it's great when you just discover albums like that, last one for myself (didn't come close to the same thing) Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, busting with ideas that one.
As for The View don't you have to be like a fourteen year old girl to take that s*** seriously sub-Oasis, sub-Libertines, sub-reality bollocks.
In saying that i've only heard one song to say i was unmoved would be an understatment.
