I agree with everything you said regarding Drum's Not Dead and Sisterworld. The latter is definitely an expansion from their previous effort Liars, which I'm also very much in love with. But tracks like "Scissor", "No Barrier Fun", "Here Comes All the People", "Scarecrows On a Killer Slant", "Proud Evolution" and "The Overachievers" were all so huge for me during a pretty difficult period in my life, so I guess that's why it hits home so much for me.
Anyway, the song "It Fit When I Was a Kid" remains a constant banger for me to this today.
There just isn't a piece of Liars music that I don't vibe with. This band is the answer to everything. So glad there are some other Liars diehards up in here. I've been dying for them to make a trek down South during one of their tours for many years, but they seem to not want anything to do with it.
If my unanswered emails over the years about them coming to the south are any indication, I would say that there must me some kind of vendetta.
I was in a weird place when Drum's Not Dead came out. I was heavily into a substance that I should have only been an aquatence with. I didn't have a clear path for my life. I remember travelling to a multiple hundred mile destination, paranoid as all hell, and the worst storm I had ever seen hit. I was listening to that record, but as the storm got more intense, I tried finding the news on the radio. All I heard was to take cover and then there was static. I drove to the lowest valley I can find in an neighborhood, and when my truck was rocking, and everything that was not anchored down was flying around me, I debated running to the nearest household for cover, but I decided I wouldn't make it alive. But, the storm subsided...
It took me years to appreciate the mood of Drum's Not Dead. The bangers, as you and I see it, sucked me in, but I always knew there was something more. There's an anxiety to Drum's Not Dead that seems match my own, and then grasps me only to calm me down. Besides mushrooms, there is nothing else more theraputic to my mind than Drum's Not Dead. I currently have a very stressful job that makes it hard for me to sleep on Sundays. You better bet your ass that Drum's Not Dead gets me where I need to be to fall asleep.
Not only do Liars experiment with mood music, they also kick f*ckin @ss. Yes, I am a Liars fluffer, but I will challenge anybody, (cough, longinus), to a playlist battle for the most killer set of bad@ssery from any one, single band.
That's a pretty intense experience, man. I'm glad Liars were there for you in those dark and adventurous moments. And I'm really glad you're here to share your story with us. Music, such as Liars, can be such a powerful tool to the mind and body, with or without the various substances. It's the reason I'm here at this very moment discussing the power of Liars with you. You can consider me a friend through this conversation.
My life's mission is to see those 3 sly bastards live at least once. It's a must.
Now that Liars are coming out with their 7th bad@ss album, which is their 2nd best and most accessible, can they start getting the recognization they deserve as one of the greats of the last 15 years?
Late to this love fest, but I 100% agree. I'm having trouble voting, though, because I feel the same way about Future Islands. Those are probably my two favorite active bands.

Holy crap. Did you know the Future Islands dude is also a rapper? These videos are great. He can actually flow like motherf*cker.

So the March releases are done and folks are contemplating their March 2014 AotM. Since many of the April release are already leaked and/or streaming, here is a cheat sheet for a very packed April (it's one of only 3 months this year with five legit release days). Keep in mind, these dates can move and some will kick into other months. As always, I excluded EPs, live albums, reissues, etc.
