Soundtrack of our Lives - Communion (2009)

24 songs is a lot of songs, but hey, TSOOL make some of the most consistently enjoyable retro psych garage rock and 2002's Behind The Music was awesome. With that many songs, there was bound to be a couple clunkers, but overall, it's another solid album in a genre I seem never to get tired of listening to. It's full of power chords, chanted choruses and, well, rocking out - or at least those are the songs I like best. If you hate Oasis or Ocean Colour Scene, this probably isn't for you. What the hell is up with that album art?

Apparently, according to lead singer Ebbot Lundberg those people on the cover "represent the corporate mass psychosis that has slowly taken over our world. Images of a perfect civilized life that does not exist or ha[ve] anything to do with reality. They are probably drinking octopus semen mixed with gin and DMT."

There you go.
