The Best,
By
This review is from: Cocktails & Dreams (MP3 Download)
The Lawrence Arms is my favorite band and I'm so glad I discovered them on XM. Cocktails and Dreams is a great album, but I won't say it's their best because they all rock. Their lyrics are interesting and poem-like. The voices of Brandon and Chris offset each other so nicely that it sounds melodic even though it's punk. What can I say? You're missing out if you don't listen to them and this album!

Absolutely cute!,

Wow! The drunken pooches have done it again! How did a song like '100 Resolutions' not get on one of their LPs?!?! I honestly think that is the best Lawrence Arms song, and is right up there with the Broadways 'Nautical Mile'. Just about every song on the album of B sides is pretty damn good, however, the remake of 'Turnstiles' wasnt exactly the best idea. They should have left that song alone; the original was fine the way it was. As for the remake of 'Old Timers 2X4', it practically sounds the same, just a bit heavier. I was amazed to find out that Brandon is singing towards the end of 'Another Boring Story'...he sounds almost exactly like Chris! Chris' only bad song is 'Joyce Carol Oates...', although thats probably the only bad song he has ever written. All in all, this is another great album for the ruffians of Lawrence Arms. The best thing that ever happened to the whole Chicago scene was to let Chris write songs. Who knew he'd be so damn good? He even displays his guitar abilities on 'A Toast', which is reminiscent to Chuck Berry/ 50 styles guitar. It seems that the Lawrence Arms simply cannot write unlikable tunes. Buy this album, it'll be just as rewarding as a big Lemon Chill! (or rasberry)

Beer Bellied Pop Punk,

I never got into the Larry Arms until I got this cd. The first seven songs fly by and before you know it you're singing every single word.The end of the cd should grow on you later. |
