Both American football releases are priceless to me...But I can listen to these 3 songs over and over for days..

yes this cd is quite good. subtle and moving. many sunday mornings will bare witness to the sounds put forth. by the way i needed to correct the error written by another reviewer who can't seem to read. mike kinsella plays in this band not tim.

Dashboard Confessional? What the hell? This is seriously nothing like DBC. Key differences being: intelligent lyrics, interesting musical ideas, talent. That said, this is an excellent record, by an excellent band. Just beautiful.

for any fans of anything that is considered good music, this is the CD for you. Not only does it have interesting lyrics, but my grandmother even enjoyed listening to it.

3 1/2

...for American Football's only full length. While not as flooring as the proceeding self-titled, this tiny ep still warms us up to those beautiful possibilities of capturing these intricate melodies in a most emo-meets-progressive way, at a point when these members hadn't outgrown bite, but noise. Recommended only as a nice appetizer to their wonderful lp, fans of later band Owen's work will also enjoy the introspective hue of this ep in particular.

nice playing by some kids from the middle of nowhere. the midwest has shown again that it puts out some of the best indie pop and math rock with this release from steve lamos's american football. the band also has the playing and singing of tim kinsella from joan of arc. a must buy.. if they ever repress it

Props to Steve, Steve, And Mike! A welcome departure from Joan of Arc and Cap'N Jazz. I guess the only way to solve the (small) debate over whose band this was is by revealing that Mike broke them up. So by result, I would say it was his project. Anyway, the music is subtle, even sublime at times, with a clever turn in the drumming (Steve Lamos). It's a shame-- there was potential there, even possible success within reach since music like Dashboard Confessional seems to sell well (not saying they are the same, but if Dashboard could sell, this certainly had a chance). This is not too far away from that in feeling. Good luck fellas!

Haha, okay your a moron. This music is nothing like DBC. I actually classify this as music. DBC......is noise.

This is death-metal at its finest.
