I haven't spun Drones in some months now, or even at all this year, but I have been listening to their first four albums over the course of the last few days, both at home and during my commutes around town/to and from work, and I have to say, I still REALLY dig their first three albums, a lot. They sound so fresh and there's a lot in their first three that sort of seems lost in their following albums. The songs miss something that was present in those, but I couldn't tell you what exactly. I really dig the piano and keyboards a lot in the first couple of albums, so maybe that's what it is. Who knows.
I've been listening in chronological order, so I'll catch back up to Drones at some point this or next week. I'm currently on BH&R, and it's as good as I remember it. I also remember hearing some of these tracks a LOT due to the radio and just hearing them whenever I go out. They definitely got a LOT of play back when the album and its singles came out, didn't they?
