Stream Tegan & Sara's Sainthood Most fans were into "Hell"'s "bigger and more forceful" full-band sound. Listen to T&S's sixth album at MySpace to see if the Quins and their Death Cab collaborators maintain the vibe.

This album is perhaps their best to date. Their past releases have been kinda spotty where some tracks stood out as really good singles, but the others were weak skippables. This album is probably their most consistently solid and strongest.

totally agree. I'm a huge fan, and it might be the new-ness factor, but this sounds like the best album to date, easily.

It's pretty great but doesn't top The Con, IMO

So far, The Con is a better album for me. However, I like Sainthood more every time I listen to it (just like all of their albums). I feel like once I've listened to them an equal number of times, I'll like them equally (maybe even Sainthood more). You know?

Pretty awesome album. May have to fork over some cash for this one.
