I bought this CD based on recommendations. For about a week I had heard from a lot of friends about how good it is. I'd also seen a lot of hype in different magazines and in record stores. So I bought it. And I listened to the first three tracks. And I put it in my stack. And I didn't think about it for a few days, reveling in my other purchases.

"jesus lizard, slint,= overrated. both bands shit the bed. Albini's projects are what made Touch and Go, in my opinon Touch and Go rode the success of BIg BLack and other ALbinin projects and that's what gave them significance in the first place. If it wasn't for Big Black , Touch and GO would not be around today." The vocals on this one is amazing, interesting as hell. Looking forward to see them this summer. jesus lizard, slint,= overrated. both bands shit the bed.

"I want to like it cause I like Touch and Go but honestly I don't think they've put anything great out since Big Black was making records a million years ago" Go see them on tour: they increase to a five-piece. The drummer is awesome. HA! Isn't it funny how one person dosen't like something so he/she thinks it sucks. Seems...oblivious to reality...kinda. "have no idea why this is on 'punknews' though." expressive lyrics subtle harmonies great ambient synths this moves way too slow, I want to like it cause I like Touch and Go but honestly I don't think they've put anything great out since Big Black was making records a million years ago. Oh and these songs make no sense, the indie kids are like sheep, hey kids the writers love it! It's hip, eat it! Best cd to come out in a long time. Great music. Most kids here won't like it because it doesn't suck. they're a really unique band, who would've thought doowop and post punk could work together. the problem is there isn't much variety. they have one spactacular trick up their sleeve, but they play it on every track and it all starts to run together. distorted bass that sounds like humming, electronic clicks and beats, soulful vocals, slow methodical pace, repeat. I haven't heard the whole cd, but a friend was playing it and I liked it. Excerpt from an imaginary conversation in your head. These guys take the badness to a whole new level. this is a damn good record. i plan on purchasing this cd today along with some !!!. This album is getting better and better each day. Great review. Looks like Fugazi will be on the shelf for a while, but until they get back together (please?) I can still enjoy genuinely creative bands like TV On The Radio. Among others, of course. funny, i thought the same thing about screeching weasel Overrated indie shit. With all the critical acclaim i did not expect it to be this bad. The singer is annoying and everything else is boring. It's 9 songs at 47 minutes. How is that way too short? It's longer than most 12-14 song CDs. Ok, but kinda overrated. And way too short. This band made me like music again. A 10. |
