5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album. A stylistic break from their previous effort., January 5, 2006

Yet another band I discovered on XM Radio's XMU station, Dios has put forth two solid albums. It took me a while to accept the heavier rock style of this album, having really enjoyed the previous album which was more loose and resembled something The Eagles might have done. This album is closer to a mainstream rock album.

Once I was able to accept the change in style, I began to really like this album. Every tune is catchy and as others have mentioned I find myself singing along even with some of the lesser-preferred songs. Their previous album was a little more uneven, with some songs outstanding and others seeming to need a few more revisions. This album is far more consistent, and while some songs have the feeling of being improvised, the result still feels very polished.

It might be my imagination, but the major theme of the first two albums seems to revolve around moving past a relationship with someone that you can't seem to escape from. Another theme appears to be a defense of alcohol and drugs as an escape mechanism. I can't say either themes appeal that strongly to me, but nonetheless they are presented in a beautiful manner in both albums. This album seems to be a little more humorous and self-depricating.

It's hard to choose standouts on this album, because almost all the songs have a strong melody and stick with me. But my favorites are EPK, My Broken Bones, and Grrrl. Definitely a worthy purchase.

Dios (Malos) was one of the up and coming bands a few years ago in LA. They had to change their name and work on their live show. They lost one member and are back with a second album. They seemed much like Grandaddy and Elliot Smith. I saw them a few times over the years and they have improved. Recently I have seen them with M. Ward. They are able to combine memorable melodies with rocking folk music. The songs "Feels Good Being Somebody" and "I Want It All" explore the new sound. "Tokyo Sunrise" is a dynamic song. I often wonder why more people haven't heard these guys. They mix a little rocking folk with Mexican influences. Some of these songs seem big and very open. It is like party music for a big venue. They are doing their first headlining tour this month so that makes sense. We should have more bands like Dios (Malos). We are lucky.
