I couldn't choose between their first full-length, "The Killer Was In The Government Blankets," and the second one, "Syncopated Synthetic Laments For Love," so I'm putting up both! The Killers was the first album of their's I listened to, so it has a dear place in my heart. It was actually the first hardcore/emo/screamo album I listened to, and the song, "Are You Still Working At That Café?" is the first song of that genre I heard, and I was hooked. To this day, that song is still one of my favorites. I chose to also include Syncopated because it's just an amazing album. And that's what these two are: albums. Through and through. Quite possibly better than The Killers but I'd say it's more like they're neck and neck. The title track from Syncopated is seriously flawless in my eyes. I could talk forever about Yaphet Kotto, but I know if I keep going, you won't wanna read it, so I'll cut myself off. Politically charged hardcore with contrasting vocals, dynamic song structures, compelling lyrics... just perfect.
