It's one week now that i've had the chance to listen to this totally amazing record. All the tracks are totally outrageous and feels so genuin. The lyrics could feel sort of complicated the first time you hear them but the more you listen to them, the more they grow.

You gotta have this almbum 'cause it is a genius piece of modern art that will become more and more uncommon in this conmercelized age.

Take 5 is a primer for Behind The Music. The rousing Dow Jones Syndrome and witty No Brainer (with a bold reference to The Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows (the version on the Anthology CD)and two others could have easily graced Behind The Music. The melodies, dynamic arrangements and vocal harmonies both refer to previous decades and bands (most notably The Beatles, The Who, The Kinks and 70's power pop like Badfinger)but also look ahead to the distinctive sound that emerged on the band's third full length CD.

The last track Play Station Bordello sounds like a Eno on steriods. It could almost be a lost track from Eno's Another Green World (and clearly that was the inspiration). While it isn't the best track on the album, it's an apt closing pulling the band out of the 70's and into the new century.

I'd love to see the band's numerous EP's, b-sides and bonus tracks compiled onto a single disc. In the meantime, I'll have to make do with the CDR I made of this classic album, the Bonus Future EP CD and odds and ends released by the band over the last year. I wish that Universal would get a clue and finally release this stuff in the United States.

This is awesome.This is where they get great.Lots of guitar.Could've been perfect but the last song seems like filler(not bad filler,just not as good as the rest). I'm not complaining,am I?

This is a band that truly rocks and has enough complexity to keep you guessing. This is a band that should not be missed. I haven't heard too much about them in the states...It's too bad. I think eventually that will change!
Check them out.
