Thing is, those are the seminal albums of my youth; just put on a decade's delay. I discovered Ten in about 2002, Weezer in '05, etc. Which makes me worried that there aren't any seminal albums any more. But to answer your question, American Slang by The Gaslight Anthem. Absolutely pins and needles, absolutely up to expectations. But that was quite some time ago. Seminal albums from my youth would be stuff like Illinoise, Hot Fuss, The Hold Steady's stuff ... I'm having trouble with this one.
