Great stuff! Here are a few random thoughts --

A) The song "Guitar Case" from the TonyALL record is a hidden gem.

B) I wouldn't be surprised if Pummel's cover was a record label idea.

C) I'm glad that they included "Crazy" on the self-titled comp. I really wish they would release a b-sides / unreleased compilation. They have so many great songs that were not on their albums.

D) Oh, I just thought of this. You should have included Stephen Egerton's album as a bonus.

E) Here's my ranking --

1. Breaking Things

2. Percolater

3. Allroy Sez

4. Problematic

5. Allroy's Revenge

6. Allroy for Prez

7. Mass Nerder

8. Pummel

9. Allroy Saves

10. New Girl, Old Story

Indeed. Truth be told, there are only three songs on New Girl, Old Story that I like ("Guitar Case," "Telltale Signs," and "Casual Girl"). Pummel has a bunch of great songs but it is not an album that I never want to put on and listen to front to back.

I listen to it quite a bit (when I'm in the mood to listen to ALL that is) but I will admit that there are songs here and there on it that I skip when I do listen to it.

Those songs just kill that album for me. That said, I will listen to Pummel before Allroy Saves. That album is just too weird for me.
