5.0 out of 5 stars Just buy it., June 17, 2004

This review is from: All Ears All Eyes All the Time (Audio CD)

Piebald has grown, that's for sure, and I'm glad they got more creative with this album. However, they definitely still have the same catchiness I heard when I first listened to "We Are The Only Friends"... This is the kind of album that grows on you. Really, because the new album is a bit different stylistically, you should be able to find something you like. My favorite tracks from it currently: The Benefits of Ice Cream, Human Taste Test, Haven't Tried It, and Part of Your Body Is Made of Rock. Travis's voice still sounds great (Put Your Slippers On Instead comes to mind). Don't be discouraged by the negative reviews; give "All Ears" a try.

O.K., nobody said piebald was a regular cookie cutter band. They are orignal. First, you need to hear these piebald songs: American Hearts, Part of your body is made out of rock, Just a simple plan, I haven't tried it, and get old or die trying. After these songs grow on you, you understand their style, then the rest of their stuff will grow on you. The more you hear them, the more you can't get them out of your head. It's awesomely horrible. My dad is 40 and I'm 17. Piebald is one of the few bands that we agree on. If you don't like emo/indie/punkrock type of music, you probally won't like these guys, but if you're like me and love this genre of music, you'll fall in love.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Consistently Good Sound, June 9, 2004

This review is from: All Ears All Eyes All the Time (Audio CD)

This album seems to evolve past "We Are The Only Friends We Have" and at the same time draw from "Venetian Blinds". It moves away from the more poppy sound of "Friends" and indulges their creative side. So what if it doesn't sound exactly like all their previous stuff? Who wants to hear the same thing twice? From "The Benefits of Ice Cream" to "The Song That Launched 1,000 Ships" and "All Senses Lost", this is the most consistent and inventive Piebald album to date.

Travis' vocals are a nice break from the streamlined whiny teenager that we hear so often on FM radio. Instead of feeling bad about all the world's problems, Piebald uses Travis' wit to sing about how stupid it is to worry about everything. In "The Benifits of Ice Cream", Travis sings, "Hey most pessimistic boy in LA/Have some ice cream and relax in the shade". Piebald's sound might be something that long-time Piebald fans are not quite used to, but it's inventive and shows that they are able to evolve and want to explore, something that we don't usually hear.
