Art Of Fighting - Mysteries

[@Gregusse]

Second Storey is definitely underrated, simply because it sounds like one of those epic albums that stands by itself instead of just being a collection of good songs. It seems to tell a story (at least to me) that I find so rarely in my favourite albums bar maybe one or two Counting Crows or Pearl Jam albums. I can imagine someone picking it up in a decade or so and wonder how it never became a cult album. It's definitely in the league of some of the best indie bands' albums.

gorgeous music

I'm probably a bigger Counting Crows connaisseur than Pearl Jam. I'm mainly a fan of the whole No Code album for PJ and This Desert Life for CC "Amy Hit The Atmosphere", "Mrs Potter's Lullaby", "Mr Jones"... Yes it was the form of story-telling that must have appealed to me in the case of AoF. It sounded like a story I was familiar with, although as far as I know it's mostly about the relationship of singer Ollie with the female member Peggy. I live in London but I'm from several places

The songs of the latest album are solid efforts and still worthy of more recognition and airplay but there's something that was in all the songs on Second Storey that seems to have gone in these newer songs: the tortured feel of the other songs is nowhere to be found and they did it so well.

guy started a solo thing called Parallel Lions, plenty of "tortured feel" there if you're into that

where can i find some more art of fighting vids? i like them.... especially the second storey stuff... but im o/s and cant find it anywhere :(

[@Gregusse]

Thanks for your reply. Maybe I need to give the album a listen again (I have to admit that I only own their first two albums and not Runaways) but there are a number of reasons I don't like the direction they've taken in the last album: a bit too upbeat (they did miserable quite well), I'm not sure about the production quality on these new tracks.
