LC and I have crossed paths on tours a couple times. Great guys, super hard workers. Touring all the time... very dedicated. One of the most solid live shows you will ever see. This is a band, unfortunately, who's real power just does not translate through their album. If you get a chance to see them on tour do it for sure. good luck to the guys and i hope to see you again sometime.

To the poster below: You're an idiot. Your just pulling out stereotypical "failed musician critic" bull shit that isn't even true. I'm willing to bet the band is able to take criticism on them much butter then you seem to be, after all they can learn what people think and they can do better. Little Compass is very obviously influenced by the original emo bands whether they consider themselves emo or not (and they have a song that rips the opening riff from the Hey Mercedes song The House Shook...). Your hate filled rant just shows your ignorance, it doesn't even serve as a good attack at Kirby's reviewing.... And if you care enough to hold a person to gun point over this band you're an insane loser and you need a hobby. I'm willing to bet Little Compass doesn't even give a third as many shits as you seem to about this review.

i really think the reviewer is a piece-of-shit that knows nothing of what they talk about. i can guarantee you that no one in the entire band would call themselves emo. as for hooded sweatshirts, i doubt you would see many peaople from houston even wearing something to keep them warm. i know it was an analogy, but it makes no sense. dave, ramzi, stephen, and danny are all hard working musicians that never stop. and why are they even in punknews? kirby, you are an idiot that should have payed more attention during journalism. just to counter this review, i will personally buy you a copy of this album and make you listen to it at gun point for 27 days straight. music critics are the worst form of life. you take what some have spent entire lives trying to achive and have put forth blood (let me remind you that stephen has even severed his left middle finger and played a show the next week with a band aid over his stub) sweat, and tears to create and offer you're stereotypical, genre-blending, i shit on you because i never could play guitar and now i'm jealous review. have a good day.

thanks,
a friend of the band.

hmmm, I do understand that "emo" fans like to wear hoodies, but I wear hoodies all the time and I'm not exactly a fan of this type of thing. Anyways I don't think they way you dress should affect your music taste or vice-versa.

Little Compass isn't actually that new. In fact, they were around for awhile, and then broke up. And then they reformed recently. I've seen them play a few shows, and I pesonally think with a band like this, it's all about the live show. As for the Braid reference, I saw their drummer at a Braid show last year, which is funny.

What's funny is that I just finished reading this magazine article on JEW before I did this review.

I'm a moron, Brian...fix that.

hey, the link to the hooded sweatshirt shit don't work you asshole.

Jimmy Eat World are from the planet Gay-As-Fuck.

Jimmy Eat World isn't from Texas silly. They're from Arizona...
