Golf's verdict: Gorgeous three part harmonies but lacking the bite that Neil Young added when he joined for the next album,

Golf's verdict: Really liked this. It reminded me a little of one of my favourite bands, Alice Donut. Don't worry, you're not expected to have heard of them either.
Máire's verdict: Okay but no more than that. Unsure what makes this album stand out so much that it appears on the challenge.

Album 812/1031
Liars - They Were Wrong, So We Drowned (2004)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Were_Wrong,_So_We_Drowned
Golf's verdict: Very challenging and ultimately exhausting and unrewarding. And I have VERY broad tastes. This makes Sleepytime Gorilla Museum sound like Britney Spears. Apparently it is a concept album about the 'ducking' of women to detect if they were witches. Who knew?
Máire's verdict: Hmm, what to say about this album? Oh, I know: it's shite.
