Dead Cities or Double Figure? (I have to choose)

Will be making a trip into a store on my birthday (7th Jan)
and I'm going to be either getting:

FSOL - Dead Cities

or...

Plaid - Double Figure

I'm having lots of trouble deciding, although I bought the
Isness recently and love it to death, so I'm on a real FSOL
role at the moment!

They both seem like such good albums. Can anyone help me
decide?

hmmm

well, ok first let me say, the Isness has no relation with
Dead Cities in any noticable way really... I look at it like
2 different bands...

but that said, Dead Cities is just a masterpeice in my
mind... and while Plaid is good, Id reccommend Dead Cities.

But yeah man... if its your birthday, splurg on both!

all i know is that dead cities is very different from the
isness (but that you already know...), and that double
figure is very good (even though i prefer not for threes)!

*Dead cities is worth it even just for the one song
"Everyone In The World Is Doing Something Without Me"

I showed it to my friend one time, and she burst into
tears.

although, Dead Cities is more of a summery album for me...

I listened to it nonstop this past summer, and it was
great.

Yeah.

So...

yeah.

Cities"...Plaid can wait...

dunno..Dead Cities is quite a dark album..not quite Summary
by my specs..but yeah they are both excellent landmark
albums...Double Figure has a more NOW sound thant Dead
Cities though..

I tend to be a sucker for artwork and inlays.

Doesn't Dead Cities have like a 32-page booklet?

There was?

I didn't know that! *rushes over to look at FSOL sites*

IMHO, definitely Dead Cities. That album (although obviously
unrelated to Isness) is sooo great, so conceptual... That's
a true masterpiece.

"I had killed a man.
A man who looked like me."

creepy.

Is the artwork all CG? Sorta like Lifeforms? I love that
type!

I love Dead Cities, great music and great art work! you
should definately get that!..
Also ISDN and Lifeforms are very good and essential for a
healthy lifestyle...

I don't seem to like ISDN from the samples I've heard.

Lifeforms is a good album, bit dated tho.

Dead Cities will be great I'm sure!

Dead Cities, I'd recommend. It's the only FSOL I really get
into.

well don't worry because Dead Cities is much better than
ISDN!

I love the shimmering paino piece Max from the pitiful
30secs I've heard of it!

I like most of them. No, wait, I love them!
