I recommend that you acquire a copy of The Monitor, by Titus Andronicus, because holy shit this album rules (it's available on eMusic, if you subscribe to that). There's probably no way to describe it that doesn't make it sound terrible (my best attempt would be: a concept album vaguely about the Civil War, but not really, that combines early Bright Eyes-esque lyrics with sprawling instrumental tracks and wraps the whole package in a serious anthemic bent). It's fearless, ambitious stuff, and definitely one of those albums that plays as a cohesive whole rather than just a collection of tracks. A sample:Also, be careful who you marry.
