Ahh the mid 90's midwest explosion. I could go on for days about some of those bands/albums that changed my life. "The age of octeen" seems to shine brightly through Braid's inconsistencies before and even after this album. Many of you may (and i'm sure you will) disagree, but with present album excluded, Braid were a hit and miss band for me. I'm not saying their other albums are throwaways, "frankie", "movie music", "Frame and canvas" etc..all have their moments, But "octeen" tops 'em all.

This is definetly Braid's best album. I love the lyrics, especially is "Divers." There is a lot of odd times and rhythem changes, along with excellent guitar work. I recommend this album to anyone who has already heard Braid; or just anyone wanting a really good album

if you love braid (which you do) you'll <3 this forever and ever and ever. it has a lot of strong songs on it and rocks my discozootpants.

this is braid's 2nd full length and its excellent. Very tight and random rhythm changes. the vocals are also very good. my top recommendation would be the first album, "frankie welfare".

i can say nothing. speech ruins everything
