"Sometimes paranoia's just having all the facts." --William S. Burroughs

Okay, so I'm late again. Yesterday's album was As Far as the Eye Can See by People in Planes. I really enjoyed this album. It was a pretty straight-forward alternative rock album, but the lyrics are what really got me a couple of times. Gareth Jones seems to be a little paranoid when it comes to issues involving his head and machines. The biggest single from this album is entitled "If You Talk Too Much (My Head Will Explode)." In one song, he sings the line "I'm a machine, but I'm a funny colour" several times, and in the final track of the album, he repeats "There's a plate in my head, there's a chip in my head" over and over as well.

Besides the lyrics, the guitar riffs are catchy, and they have a pretty relaxed groove on the slower songs. Despite the fairly modern sound this band has, the listener can really hear the blues and jazz influences in their work. And the lyrics are just...interesting on top of it all.
