Bits (2008, Sub Pop) Oxford Collapse's fourth studio album. ***

While portraying themselves as an indie rock band, Oxford Collapse seems to be far more rooted in post-punk. Yes, all the late-nineties influences are plentiful in Bits, but it's impossible to deny that there are also hints of Against Me! hidden sporadically. Bits isn't a brilliant album and through its course it accomplishes very little, and while there are not many moments that are as brilliant as "The Birthday Wars," there are even fewer that are as painstakingly awful as "Young Love Delivers," riddled with obnoxious and bratty "Whoa"s that are intentionally delivered that way (a subconscious attempt to drive people away). Oxford Collapse have done much better, but they need to mature a little bit, as their shtick is getting tired fast. A little bit of a new direction may be in order.
