As a particle physicist, I spend my days studying the fundamental particles that make up matter. Because the Trenchcoat Club are comprised of quarks and electrons, they are no different than any other humans, even ones who are members of musical groups. And yet, somehow these two men are so much more. In this scientist's opinion, they're matter that *matters*. On this, their 3rd CD, the Trenchcoat Club reveal more of their atomic makeup, coming at you with musical leptons like "The Ballad of Mr. T" (a folksy ode to TV's 'Inspector Collect') and the Built to Spill-esque "Indie Rock Is Dead." And these leptonic lullabies aren't of the tau and muon particle varities which, due to their cumbersome weight, decay very easily. They're the electron neutrino kind, meaning their quality will hold up even after a hundred listens. So don't listen to such "anti-matter" as Matchbox 20 or Soundgarden. Become a card-carrying member of the coolest and most exclusive club on the planet: the Trenchcoat Club.

I don't know much about music, but I do know trenchcoats. That said, I'd like to whole-heartedly recommend this wonderful album. Like a drunken cardiologist, these songs will stumble into your life and capture your heart. "Hitch Your Station Wagon To A Star" is FAR better than [believed]... Buy this album!

First of all, what's up Akron! Okay, I ususally hate writing reviews, and in fact never have, but in this case, I just...wow. I have to be completely honest and tell you guys and girls that I feel this album needs to be heard. It was as if the people who made it, these two hilarious Jewish guys, somehow forced me into saying, by their hooks and beats and lyrics (fly me to the moon on Uri Geller's spoon), "hey you turkeys, this is what everyone with a major record contract is trying to say but instead just forgets to shower."
