Los Campesinos!: We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed (2008)

 


Is this the second album? Is this an EP?

The band initially did not consider We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed to be their second album, instead considering it a mini-album or an "EEP" (Extended EP).By 2017, the band's members had relented to calling it their second album. Frontman Gareth Campesinos explained to Noisey that "I myself get annoyed when long term fans say "Actually, it's an EP," because I want to be able to say that "my band has released six albums" not "my band has released five albums" because it makes us seem like we've been more important for longer."

Whatever the case, I like it. I paid $7 for this record, which is an incredibly good price.
