4.0 out of 5 stars
"EMO" WITH AN ACTUAL SENSE OF HUMOR, June 15, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Some Disenchanted Evening (Audio CD)
This is an early release from the Flying Nun label, home to such songwriting geniuses as Chris Knox and the other guy from The Tall Dwarves. Apparently, this particular album is out of stock, but I see it all the time in used bins, usually for less than $5. My friend lent me this album last week, and I must've listened to it fifteen times, start to finish- it's utterly brilliant. I wish I could force all the morons who get off on Sunny Day Real Estate to listen to this, so they could see how much better emotive lyrics and music can be when the songwriter doesn't take himself quite so seriously. I'm 25 years old, and, having listened to this kind of stuff for ages, I didn't expect to be so genuinely moved by lyrics about relationships. Buy this album now, wherever you can find it, and you'll see what I mean.
