15 years of Lifeblood

[PaulTMA]

This album was released at the absolute nadir of my interest in the band and was preceded by a single I thought was naff, so it was a very pleasant surprise when the album was absolutely fantastic. Very pleased to see it has found more favour with the fanbase over the years. If something is genuinely good, then that is what tends to happen. It may never achieve any kind of 'Pinkerton'-esque success, but I'd compare it to something like MGMT's 'Congratuations' in terms of it being regarded fondly despite a dodgy initial reception.
