5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice, January 13, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Provisions Fiction & Gear (Audio CD)

I'm really bad at writing music reviews...so I'll just defer to what the others say. Definitely one of the best albums I've ever purchased. Really original and almost completely perfect (Song #4 is terrible).

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than a punk band, November 16, 2002

When I heard "I See Sound," I immediately categorized them with Sum41 and Blink182. Yet later, I came to notice that its music was better than punk. It was organized, instead of something like a trial jam session where anything goes. You could tell it was practiced with precision and not just a general understanding of how the song should sound. They are professional and mature rockers, at least musically. Yet, I believe they deserved four stars because I couldn't stand tracks eight to eleven on the CD ...I listen to the beginning half and that is well enough worth my money.

4.0 out of 5 stars A thrilling return to rock music., April 10, 2002

Good ol' rock music has been seriously lacking from the lineups of major labels. This release from Moth, a band that honed their sound by playing in the amazingly underrated Cincinnati music scene is one giant step in the right direction.

While it's easy to pick out specific influences of the band,(Weezer and The Pixies jump out)the band manages to mix and disguise the sounds of those that came before them into a mix that is incredibly infectious and sounds surprisingly fresh in the sea of god-awful-drek that is force fed to us by major labels.

It's a great album from a great band, and I hope they are very successful in future efforts. Fans of The Pixies, Weezer, and Idlewild will be thrilled with this release.
