There's always a few albums every year that absolutely amaze me with the lack of attention they receive. Parc Avenue is one of them for 2008. Anyone else with me on this one?

I've listened to this through a couple times, but am unsure as to how much I like it as yet, however, I do like it. We'll see after some repeated listens.

I've had it on my Best of list for a couple of months. It's a very solid release.

Yeah, I loved this record. The With/Avec EP was great too. My review hasn't run yet, though, for some reason.

Oops, I didn't know this album had its own thread. I'll delete my posts about Filmore's review in the 'Best of 2008' thread and quote them here:

Thanks, man. I appreciate it.
I really liked the With/Avec EP, and totally fell in love with the full-length when I got it. They're one of the most exciting Canadian bands I've heard since Sloan, to me anyways. I won't be missing them the next time they cone through Vancouver. ________________________________________________________ "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.

Funny, I was just reading this rave review on PopMatters, and I'm thinking to myself, "ooh, I got to rush over to MC and post about this in the P&A thread." And I go to see who the author of the review is...and I had a "doh" moment. Nice review, Filmore! I couldn't agree more your opinion. ********************** Metal-Archives POTD

Thanks, man. I takes all the praise I can gets.
I gave the album another listen last night and I must say I agree with myself. This is a great record. The line "it takes a good friend to say you got your head up your ass" still gets me every time. ________________________________________________________ "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.

It took me a while to fully appreciate this album, but after several listens, it is very apparent that it is one of the best this year by far.
The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. |

It's been nominated for the Polaris Music Prize.
