Well goodness why are you reading this? Well, because you are not sure whether you should buy this CD or not right? Well let me tell you The Ataris just keep getting better with their "heart on my sleeve" lyrics and emotional-rollercoaster memories. This is one of their best albums yet. No one should think twice about buying "So long Astoria" it is anything but a gamble. This album expands the world of emo/heart-wrenching music. It lets you know you aren't alone in such a chaotic world. It would definitely be a good investment.
