Of course there are multiple albums at different stages in life, but this one hit the hardest at exactly the right stage in life. The combination of brilliant songs and a philosophical bent really had a huge impact on how I live my life. It's an album that managed to be sad and happy simultaneously whilst sounding like no other band on earth. Be happy seems to be the main message, but behind that there's an implication that no-one really knows what it's all about. I listened when I was a mopy teenager and it turned my life around.
