I wanna say, maybe a month or so ago, Jerry told me I should do a top ten list of the best ten albums of the decade for next year. I started to laugh because for one, it was kind of random but a good idea, but I quickly dismissed dong it because I couldn't possibly do that. It'd be waaay to hard. Then maybe two weeks ago, a co-worker asked me what were my favorite albums of the last 9 years and we started rattling some albums off. One album I forgot to mention to him was Sitting Around, Keeping Score by Spymob, probably, most likely, i'm pretty sure, it's my favorite rock album of all time. Yes, this includes any Coldplay, Beatles, Fleet Foxes, or any other rock album I really like.
The album was released in 2004, and luckily for me, I was reading album credits at that time. If you have N.E.R.D.'s first album, it would do you good to read who was actually playing the instruments......Spymob. They also were their(N.E.R.D.) band for when they did live shows. Before their album came out, they were featured on the Neptunes Presents:Clones album(the song is at the bottom) and I instantly fell in love. Then the album came out and I listened to it ALL THE TIME. No other rock album gives me the feelings this album gives me. If we're talking best albums from 2000-2009, it is one of the most underrated albums in that span of time. Sadly, they never released anything else after that. No one knows why, hardly anyone knows of them so it's hard to get news on them or pictures or anything. I put up like all the songs I could find from the album, but I had to end up using the the imeem playlist which only plays 30 seconds =[ Even if you read this and go eh, jsut another band, you could at least, if you like rock music, listen to the playlist I put together. Just click it and it will take you to my profile page and go from there. If you like it, you could prolly get the album on Amazon or Itunes or somewhere else. IT'S A MUST HAVE I KID YOU NOOOOOOT.
Here's my first encounter with Spymob....
