5.0 out of 5 stars Yeah I know 5 stars, but I really think they deserve it., August 7, 2006

The Submarines has managed to create a very beautiful and worthwile album. I stumbled upon them while looking for artists similar to Death Cab for Cutie, (I think). Apparently in the beginning stages of the album the two are separted because each song alternates between them. But towards the end of the album must've have been around the time they got back together (you can kind of tell through the lyrics) "the Good Night", "Darkest things". The album in itself seems to be an account of their relationship during the bad times and memories of the good. I'm a big fan of mellow and lyrically upbeat music, and that seems to be one of the aspects of indie music. If you're a fan of Death Cab, the Pale/Pacific, (I know that Death Cab is completely different from the Pale Pacific, but they're both really good) Dntel etc. then you're going to love this cd, if not, then there's something wrong with you (j/k), but seriously there's something wrong with you.

This album, released in the latter 1/2 of this year 2006, is destined to be one of my favorites of the year. The band, made up of husband and wife duo Jack Drag and Blake Hazard, are proprietors of very catchy hooks and melodies. Though but a duo, their sounds fill up a room, and make even hard-hearted Indie music snobs cry in their beer with their sweet lyrical tales of broken relationships and reconciliation. It's easy to find oneself listening to this on repeat.

This album has already been added to my best of 2006 list. Lovely lyrics matched with enchanting melodies; you will have no problem listening to this album from beginning to end. I highly recommend.
