5.0 out of 5 stars Very Underrated Band, December 22, 2004

I have pretty much every Matt Pond PA CD and they are a truly talented musical group. The Green Fury mixes a variety of guitar beats and cello pieces in a way that the songs all sound unique. I've heard them referred to as "baroque pop" (whatever the heck that is) but I'm not sure you can really describe their music with one term--Matt Pond PA really has the ability to deviate from a mello thinker like "Jefferson" to an upbeat rush of guitars like "Neighbor's New Yard". "Measure 3", "This is Montreal" and "A Part of the Woods" all display how musically and lyrically talented this band is. The Green Fury is one of their best (along with Measure and a close 3rd: Emblems), so I certainly recommend it to someone looking for some intelligent, lighter music. I also recommend their live show--I thouroughly enjoyed their performance in a set I saw this winter.

5.0 out of 5 stars just WOW!, March 24, 2003

The name says it all! Matt Pond...actually the name says nothing about the music, but the vocals in harmony with the guitar makes this one a "must buy". Sounding alot like built to spill, Matt Pond creates a beautiful album, one where you can just sit back and relax to. Check this one out, i recomend it to the slow pace rock fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the greatest, January 13, 2004

Not only has this release by my now favorite songwriter and musician of all time completely thrown me for a loop as a skeptical listener, but this now timeless record only gets better and better with each and every listen. With its lush instrumentation and layering of beautiful sounds, coupled with mature and clever songwriting, MPPA has set a permanent place in my heart as one of the most underrated, underappreciated, and most amazing groups of the genre. The sheer beauty displayed on this album is only rivaled by their live performance. For new and curious listeners, this CD is a must-have and a good record to start off with. It will pull you in right away and not let you out of its wonderful melody until the CD ends. Even the short interludes and mini songs in between a few tracks have hooks that put most popular singer/songwriters to shame, in fact, some if them are the record's high points. Don't make the same mistake I did and wait so long to get into this band!
For fans of: Elliott Smith or Jeremy Enigk's solo material.
