So Much for the City is the debut album of the Irish indie/pop band The Thrills. It was released on 27 May 2003 and quickly achieved success in Ireland, spending 61 weeks in the top 75 of the Irish Albums Chart.[12] The album also won `Album of the Year` at the national music awards. It gained significant popularity in the UK, debuting at #3 and remaining in the charts for 25 weeks.[13] The single `Big Sur` reached #17 in the UK,[13] which remains their highest charted position in the country to date.

In an interview, lead singer Conor Deasy explained the band`s inspiration for the song material:
Those songs are our ways of picking us up because we were kind of miserable. We were dropped by our label. And the towns are put [in the songs] as a way of escapism, as opposed to documenting little tales about what happened when we went there. When we put in a title like `Santa Cruz (You`re Not That Far),` it would literally pick us up a bit.[14]

The album was nominated for the 2003 Mercury Prize but lost to Dizzee Rascal`s Boy in da Corner.[15]

Legacy
The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[16]

The song `Santa Cruz (You`re Not That Far)` was ranked by Q Magazine at number 550 on their list of the 1001 best songs ever made.[17]

The song `Say It Ain`t So` appeared on US President George W. Bush`s iPod in 2005.[18]
