Shields is basically an even split of Droste/Rossen. maybe you should give it a shot if you havent. personally i love em both, but there's plenty of Droste on Shields. Yet Again and Gun-Shy are brillant and among the best songs they've made and are Droste led.

ah, got it.

no. they totally rule. Lonerism is one of my favorite albums of….last year. not totally sure why its running for best of 2013 when it came out in 2012 but….mmmk.
