Belle And Sebastian The Boy With The Arab Strap By Derek Dubois on Jan 17, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

This album is a real treat along with their other album that I've reviewed which is "The Life Pursuit". I tend to like this album better, because of the song "Sleep the Clock Around" which is one of my favorite songs ever. This album is just as easy going as the other album and is just a continuation of their other works. Its subject matter really isn't just love love love, but rather a mix of weird stuff that you can often bypass by just giving it a passive listen. Really, this album shouldn't be missed. I've enjoyed it longer than the other Belle and Sebastian album even. The sound is the same, but there's something more "special" to it for me. That said, the sound is, once again, soft and soothing, and should be listened to with that in mind.
