 Rating:  - Great...yesterday... is an album that takes a few listens to get used to, but grows on you extremely quickly. I am a great fan of the band and i think this is thgeir best realease, deffinately much more experimental and less mainstream than "finally we are no one". My track reviews are as followed: I'm 9 today - 9.5/10. a nice feel, with a simple tune that grows to a nice climax, quickly gets you in the mood to hear more and is one of my favourite tracks on the album.
