Best.Album.Ever.

"I discovered the Weepies quite by accident. I was downloading songs on iTunes, and found a playlist that had been put togther by the Indigo Girls. One of the songs on the list was 'World Spins Madly On' from the Weepies "Say I Am You" album. All it took was for me to hear that 20 second sound bite, and I knew I was going to L-O-V-E this album.
The Weepies do a fantastic job of conveying a wide range of emotion, and though the songs are all familiar in a way, they by no means seem old-hat or boring. In particular, 'World Spins Madly On' shines. The song expresses a feeling I can only assume everyone has felt at some point- a feeling of being so small and helpless, and that even though you feel as though your whole world has stopped, the world somehow keeps on going.
"Say I Am You" is full of haunting harmonies, clever lyrics, and memorable imagery. A very mellow album.
This is my favorite album ever made. I highly recommend it."
