5.0 out of 5 stars Give it a second try, or a third., March 1, 2005

This album is great; I'll just start off by saying that. However, you may not think so at first. For those of you who like to listen to everything, this band might come off as a bit random or "weird" at first listen, but I promise, it'll become more and more familiar every time you listen to it. It's almost like the brain isn't ready for it the first few times, but it adapts and begins to understand its subtle elegances.

I started out just liking a song or two, but recently I've come to love all of them. I hope you can give this band a chance, it'll be well worth it.

Yes, this is what I've been waiting for: intelligent, slightly abstract, "punk" influenced, barn-burning, jaw-dropping rock and roll. Tim Harrington can sure turn a phrase. The DVD is more comical than essential, but the CD is transcendental.

I think that the person who gave five stars to Chris Isaak's Christmas album is right. Les Savy Fav is just another band that jumped on the recent new-wave revival bandwagon. Except they were so bad that they needed to get a head start, so they jumped on this bandwagon way back in 1996. The bandwagon was just an unassembled pile of lumber at this point and all of the members of Les Savy Fav got splinters in their feet. Some guy in a band twenty-five years ago got a splinter stuck in his hand. Lars Sarvy Fav be a bunch of copycat frauds!

For real, Les Savy Fav is a very fun band. They write consistently good songs and I encourage you to give them a listen. They are genuine, talented and intelligent men who throw a splendid party at their live shows. One time, I put "Inches" in my portable CD player and its sheer intensity gave me the power to ride my bike thirty miles to my grandmother's house in the city. Sweat Descends is my favorite song.
