I picked up the 'Absent Friends' album a few months back. It's a pretty good album. A very unique sound for 2004, you dont hear much orchestra pop these days. I like how a good majority of the songs are tongue in cheek too, pretty funny stuff.
My favs from it are:
Absent Friends
Sticks & Stones
Come home Billy Bird (a definite standout)
My Imaginary Friend (another humorous one)
Our Mutual Friend
Happy Goth (Is this possibly the funniest song title ever? Possibly. It's also a hilarious song too)
Freedom Road
Charmed Life (FANTASTIC, probably my fav song from the album)
Yes, that's a lot of favorites from one album. Suck it, Trebek.
