This cd is perhaps the most calming and excellent piece of pop music I have ever heard.

Every song on the cd is fairly emotionally charged, but light as far as the rhythm and volume. It's great to listen to if you're interested in deep lyrics and meaning above speed or simple loud, catchy tunes (not that there's anything wrong with loud, catchy tunes.)

Everything on this cd seems like it's a venture into the unknown, and out of all the music I've heard, nothing is quite the same as this. It's not different in a bad way, not at all, it's different in a profoundly good way. If emotion, witty lyrics, and calm pop are your thing, you can't go qrong with this piece of music.

I heard about this album on an E6 mailing list and decided to check it out. It's great. They (the band) recommend listening to it as loud as your stereo can handle. I whole heartedly agree. This is not to say that it's a heavy metal rock record but that the subtleties of the recording sound great when loud, It is one of the better to best lo-fi indie recordings that I've ever heard. Also at just around 30 minutes, you should take it in in one sitting. Check out the track 'Talking Pictures' I think it works as the centerpiece to the album.

Side note: I'm a huge Neutral Milk Hotel fan and this album brought that same grin to my face as when I first discovered NMH. PS the band is by no means good simply in that they have similarities to NMH, they are definatley in and of themselves and in thier own realm.

This is a great album. I would say it sounds like Guided by Voices covering Sebadoh songs(smash your head on the punk rock era)add just a dash of Palace/Will Oldham and then BAM! Kick it up a notch.

The more you listen to this album, the more you love this album. Buy 10 CD's and give them out to all your friends.
