5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps Owen's Best, November 13, 2006

Mike Kinsella, for now, has simultaneously the most catchy and technically-apt post-emo songs out on the national scene, between this release and his last release, I Do Perceive (which I honestly can't chose between). If you had an emo-stage back in the late 90s when emo still had some steam (with bands like Get Up Kids, Modest Mouse, At the Drive-In, The Promise Ring, Sense Field, and Sunny Day Real Estate), Owen may appeal to your developed tastes now. If you are into those talented few emo bands now but would like to insert some more talent into your music player and would like to retain some of that feeling of youthfulness in your music but can't palate the pathetic display of emotion (or would like to offset the occasional display with some badassery), Owen may be the fit for you. Very sincere in comparison to his brother's work, but like his brother, Mike keeps the music varied and hip. If you haven't heard any of Owen previously, I recommend downloading Bad News (from At Home with Owen) and Playing Possum for a Peek (from I do perceive).

I enjoy the music of Mike Kinsella's one-man-band Owen, even if I didn't this is an easy CD to enjoy. With plenty of intricate layers of guitar, among other elements, to feed the ears of any listener. My taste in music spans a wide horizon, and I wouldn't try to compare this to the work of The Mars Volta, or other bands with tremendously different styles, being that would be ridiculous and nearly impossible to do rationally, but this is a very good album.
