3.0 out of 5 stars The Best Song on the Album Was Written in 2000., February 8, 2007

I have been a Piebald fan from the first time I listened to "If It Weren't For Venetian Blinds It Would Be Curtains For Us All." Since then I have bought all of their albums and gone to every show near Baltimore aka Mobtown. So it is hard to write a bad review for these guys, but the album lacks the fun and wittiness of their previous albums. I can compare listening to this album with reading a text book, "War and Peace," or "Ulysses," you just have to trudge on through it and hope to get to the end. The best song on the album is We Can't Read Poetry which was recorded in 2000 and still rocks. Taking yourself too seriously, can seriously suck. Maybe I'm just getting old.

I've followed this band since I was a kid. They started out as a screemo/hardcore band back in the 90's and they've grown a lot since then as musicians. This album reflects the latest stage in their evolution of the Piebald sound. Sure, none of the tracks here resemble anything along the lines of "Grace Kelly With Wings"--but trust me thats a good thing. They seem to be going for a more classic rock sound these days. For instance, this album features an awesome Kinks cover, "Strangers." I'd recommend this album for that track alone. However, "Roll On" is my fav track of this album-- a sort of "biking anthem." Check it out.
