Oh I always feel so awkward saying it's one of my favourites because of all the GATS-bashing that goes on, so glad others love it as much as I do!

While I can't claim to be overly fond of Nostalgic Pushead or the lyrics of Symphony of Tourette's, there is no denying that that album has the most outstanding run of singles they ever pulled of. And Sleepflower. So the haters can push off. (yes, I do like the title track, even.)

GATS is one of my all time favourite albums of all time ever. It is absolutely exceptional and I love it so much. There is something incredibly powerful about how angry yet restrained it is. It feels like the album, with gritted teeth and tense muscles, is about to burst with the aggression it can barely hold on. Instead it keeps pushing it down, turning it inwards.

GATS lovers unite!

I must say though, the only song I usually skip is Roses In The Hospital.

People do say the entire album is very manufactured but Roses is the only element that I consider a bit bland and over produced.

It's a good song to put as your waking allarm.

I must agree with that. It's very sort of light hearted yet melancholic. Strange. You've made me want to listen to it now!

But many songs of that album are good as awaking allarms, though.

With La Tristesse and Despair having the typical morning sound, Sleepflower and Yourself besides the sound have the lyrics too.

It's so damn good to wake up with intro from Found That Soul.

I can always imagine jumping out of bed fully clothed and skipping out the door and into an elevator and out of an apartment block and through the city streets to the Miss Europa intro.
