I bought this one when it came out and have enjoyed it as well. I was waiting for people to say stuff about it but since it was released the same day as the Of Montreal and Shins' albums it was probably forgotten. I think it is a nice, mellow listen. Nothing too special and the two aforementioned albums are better but it is still quite good. The bass on "History Song" is killer.

After Arcade Fire and The Shins, this is my favourite of the year so far. Love the vibe. Kingdom Of Doom is a great song. Damon's never let me down yet.

I read somewhere that in the UK Damon Days sold more than Parklife. Which is really strange.

In terms of number of listens, this album is my favorite of the year so far.

I've noticed that I enjoy it more with each listen, and that's saying something, considering I loved it at our first encounter.

With that in mind, I do believe it may be my favorite of the year regardless of its playcount.

By the way, that last song... Is it the title track if the album is self-titled?

Is it a theme song??? I say it is!
