5.0 out of 5 stars What a find!, December 20, 2008

Another 3 dollar thrift store find here, and what a bargain! I can't believe that this is currently going for 30 cents here at Amazon- especially when I think it might be out of print. Unlike my copy of Return of the Frog Queen (see my review about it) I listened to this one over and over again in my car as I was driving around. I lent this to my wife (a musical theatre performer who loves that genre and not much else) to see what she thought of it and after a couple of weeks I had to go back into her car and steal it back- she was listening to it over and over again too! Suffice it to say that this is an amazing debut release and I can't wait to hear more. I'll agree with the review I read elsewhere that mentioned the production was a little restrained- but maybe that is part of the charm and why it is so easy to listen to it over and over again- not just a couple of songs but the entire CD. At any price, you will not be disappointed with this release.

5.0 out of 5 stars You have to hear this album..., July 18, 2008

It is a rare treat to find a band which makes music as great as this. I'm talking about a complete album from start to finish here-which is so rare for indie bands to accomplish. Upon listening, song after song, it will be difficult to believe this could possibly be a debut album.

If this sort of album is Slender Means' starting point, then I forsee this band becoming very influential. I read one reviewer here seeing Nirvana's popularity potential, and that sounds reasonable to me. I'd say this album is their start to greatness. I'd even dare to compare this to something similar to Pablo Honey-by you know who. Get this album and enjoy it, you definately won't be sorry.

Like other reviewers I stumbled across this band. They were doing a live interview and playing a few tunes on a local radio station. Bought this album and didn't listen to it for awhile. Once I played it a couple of times I was surprised to find out how much I enjoyed it. Great album!
