Sorely underrated: Kind of Like Spitting "Bridges Worth Burning"

I was flippin' thru my iPod yesterday, lookin' for something to listen to when I kinda re-discovered an album I hadn't listened to in quite awhile. Not that it was a bad album, quite the contrary, it had just gotten lost in the pile of new stuff that I flood my iPod with on a daily basis. Kind of Like Spitting released "Bridges Worth Burning" in 2002 on Barsuk Records, with guests Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie) and Bob Nanna (Braid). KOLS is basically one guy, Ben Barnett, and he fills his band out with a rotating ensemble of musicians (not unlike Bright Eyes). He had a couple of albums under his belt by the time he released "Bridges Worth Burning", all of which were amazing..but this one stopped me in my tracks. This album was my #1 in 2002, I wore the damn CD out and had to purchase another. It is, in my opinion, one of the top albums ever. Musically and lyrically, it is perfection. I still can't believe he isn't talked about more, or that this album isn't garnering more attention. It is what I want all albums to be, solid all the way through & able to be listened to forever. Great albums stand the test of time, and after a year and a half without it, it continues to blow my mind.

Order it from Insound..
