Deserted Island Album

Revenantsnow79

This is one of my \"deserted island CDs.\" If I could only bring a handful of albums to a deserted island to listen to for THE REST OF MY LIFE, this would be one of them. I've had it since it came out, super eclectic, super good, and I still listen to it all of the time. My favorite tracks are Better Than Crying, I Hope You're Unhappy, Statues of Snow, The Slowdance...aka...ALL of them.

look, i was a little hardcore punk kid ten or so years ago, and this album blew my mind. i still go back to it every now and then. but if you're even looking at this page, just download all. you'll get a great mix of power pop, hardcore, emo-ish punk and even 51 seconds of grindcore. brilliant.

They Say All Music Guide

Farside’s third album The Monroe Doctrine features 17 eclectic, punk-tinged tracks. Straight-ahead rockers like the opening track “Better Than Crying” mix with power pop, ballads, and grindcore for the group’s most varied and accomplished work. The album also includes “Moral Straightjacket,” “The Lonesome Ballad of El Bobo the Cranky,” and “Liz Hurley.” Though punk is still their touchstone, Farside’s expanding musical reach is admirable. – Heather Phares
