From the first time I saw These Arms Are Snakes open for the Blood Brothers right before the release of their first ep, I was hooked. Easter totally kills it, and is much better than their first full length Oxeneers (and I loved that one too). This release is less dancey and more like the ep This is meant to hurt you. This thing is worth buying for the the song "Child Chicken Play" alone. This band deserves to be huge. Maybe if they got stupid haircuts and changed their name to These arms are Disco and sold their soul to FUSE they would be, but whatever, I'll just keep spreading the word on how awesome this band is.

Instant gratification. Constantly, people in this country are always trying to find the best ways for instant gratification. Perhaps, this is why our radio stations are filled with mindless pop that chewed up and spit out only to be forgotten. Thankfully, there are still albums like Easter and bands like These Arms Are Snakes. Here is an album that demands you give it a little breathing time like a fine wine. These Arms are Snakes show why patience is considered a virtue.
The first thing you'll notice listening to this entire album is that it doesn't have the catchy song structure of their previous album, Oxeneers or The Lion Sleeps... While Oxeneers showed a band that write catchy songs without comprising intregity, Easter shows a more technical and more balanced side of the band. The band displays an atmospheric feel without taking the whole Isis or Pelican route. Because of this, I would say that the album flows incredibly well.
Sound wise, These Arms are Snakes are the definition of post-hardcore. From the crunchy album opener, Mescaline Eyes, to the audible insanity of Crazy Woman Dirty Train, this band shifts every which way while maintaining a sound all their own. Always a strong suit, the album's production is top notch with everything heard in complete clarity. That credit can go to the band's drummer, Chris Common. The band's intention for Easter was clearly made for a live presence because I must say that I had distinct pleasure to witness this band play most of this album live. The band's energy level mixed with their music just go hand and hand, feeding off each other.
Overall, Easter is much like the holiday, full of vivid textures and emotions. I have always seen TAAS as what At The Drive In would sound like if they experimented (which is a compliment in the highest fashion). I am already curious to see in which direction the band heads next. I totally recommend this for anyone that is a fan of At The Drive In or Bear vs. Shark. My advice is to follow the lyrics to Horse Girl and "Treat like a push pin, push it till' it gets in".

I agree with the other reviwer who said it sounds more like this was meant to hurt you than the oxneers... Since I liked their full length more than their ep I was a bit upset when I first listened to the album. But as time grew on the album really grew on me. This is deffinitly their most mature album and it highlights their talents well. So overall this is a great record just not my style but you should still check it out.
