5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, January 28, 2006

This is one of the most anticipated records of the year. There is a lot of small talk about how happening Canada is. I think you have to start with The Deadly Snakes. They have been playing together for almost ten years. They are known as the best Canadian rock and roll band in the world. They opened for The Hives on most of their American tour in 2004. Why doesn't more people know about this band? They are nothing like Arcade Fire or Broken Social Scene. They are more like The Stones and The Heartbreakers. You listen to a little of this, it is a revolution. It's reminds one of things like Tom Waits and Nick Cave. It is truly psychedelic music. It transports one to another day and age. Songs like "Sissy Blues" and "Gore Veil" cause one to dream. There is some R&B and gospel moments. It reminds me of some of the latest Hives record. The Deadly Snakes have created an unpretentious, fabulous, and very listenable record, that makes me happy about the current state of music. This is the true Canada!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Joyous Outburst of Daydream with a Misleading Title, April 19, 2006

A friend once showed up at my house with a stack of records from such artists as The Oblivians, Thee Milkshakes, The Black Hands, Regina Spektar, Richard Hell & The Voidoids, Gene Vincent, and Beck. I reviewed these obscure sounds with delight and came across the Deadly Snakes. The name sounded like a death-metal band which turned me off, but he cued up "200 Nautical Miles" and I was enchanted. I listened to such joyous tracks as "Gore Veil," "Bird In The Hand is Worthless," "By Morning, It's Gone," and "Oh Lord, My Heart." I strongly recomend this record to anyone like myself who hears people listening to modern music and becomes violently ill. I would take Phil Ochs over Fallout Boy at any time, but, alas, this is not the case in everyone. But I digress, Parcella is a stupendous breath of fresh air.

4.0 out of 5 stars like nothing else!!, June 11, 2006

a buddy of mine burned me about five thousand cd's lately, so it's taking me a while to get around to listening to all of them, but i could not have popped this album on too soon. you know the fantastic feeling you get when you buy something having no idea what it's going to sound like, and then you unwrap it, stick it in the cd player, and something comes out of the speaker that is 100% original and delightful? that singular phenomenon that always makes your day? coz that's what you're gonna get if you buy this album. PS if you like this you should check out knoxville girls. this strikes me as having a similar kind of mood.
