Future Foe Scenarios - Up tempo and feisty, and keeps building in new elements
Three Seed
Well Thought Out Twinkles
Lazy Eye
Melatonin - This can drone a bit but with a good speaker setup, this song really comes alive. Great part of their live set.
Little Lover's So Polite
Rusted Wheel
Waste It On
Common Reactor
Checkered Floor
Dream at Tempo 119

My wife introduced me to SSP properly - I had heard Lazy Eye through Rock Band, but that was it. I almost made this nomination round "albums my wife introduced me to". I think Better Nature is SSP's best album, but I think Carnavas is probably their most significant album with at least one song (Lazy Eye) that people have probably heard.

I'd say that SSP's best songs have creative arrangements and cascading soundwalls. There is a droning shoegaze element to the album cuts, and if you're in the mood, it's really awesome stuff. If you're just dipping in, I imagine the low vocals just get lost.

I listened to the album a bunch of times to try and re-order the bottom half of the songs and found myself surprised that Dream at Tempo 119 ended up at the bottom, as I like the song.

(I would have also had Interpol in my options but couldn't really settle on a proper third band/album)
