5.0 out of 5 stars One of the top 5 albums of all time, October 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Problem With Me (Audio CD)

This album defines beauty. An integral part of the slowcore/minimalist movement of the 90s. "Bunch" by itself pays for the cost of the album. Every plucked guitar note has a purpose and every drum fill has a direction. The musical tapestry that Sooyoung Park and co. create is absolutely breathtaking. There's absolutely no filler track in the entire album! I just wish they'd play Kenya someday...

5.0 out of 5 stars Take me someplace I've never been to..., August 11, 2006

This record is pure nostalgia for me. As someone once put it, Seam is the trembling heartbreak of unrequited love on a cold, grey college day. Despite being so relatively unknown to the world, even the world of "indie rock", they have left a very special impact on music. If you think I'm wrong lend an ear to acts such as Death Cab For Cutie, Copeland and Ides of Space. You can clearly hear their resonance. The Problem With Me is Seam's gift to the world. The key to really appreciating this album is patience. Patience rewards the ear. Seam are masters of building up to a climax of heavily distorted yet biting powerful finales. Not to mention the lyrical mastery that is the Problem With Me. No gimmicks here, just a fine journey into love, life, hard times, and exhilaration. This is truly emotional and powerful music, this is what I wish we still had being created today. If you fancy bands like Idaho, Bedhead, the American Analog Set, Slint, etc do yourself a favor and get your hands on this record, listen to it, live, and then get Are You Driving Me Crazy? You won't be able to deny there is something special here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Pea, February 6, 2006

There are several moments in this album that still give me chills. A little emo, a little shoegazer, a little slo-core. All heartfelt and very powerful. My favorite indie rock record of the 90's? My favorite indie album ever.
