Some albums change your view on how albums should be made, How To Dress Well did this for me 100%, the slow jams and the harsh but mellow distortion blend into one, I don't think there is an album that is like this out at the moment. What really gives this album something is the gospel like voice of the lead singer, it moves with the music so well, the voice is distorted and mumbled to fit with the tripped out psych beats of each song, it gives a sense that he doesn't really need to know the words of the song, he can mumble them and the song will be just as powerful and meaningful. As one YouTube comment says "It's like My Bloody Valentine & Sigur Ros had some secret, bastard love child with some R&B artist". This music really comes from inside.
