4.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Album, July 8, 2004

This review is from: Today Puberty Tomorrow the World (Audio CD)

This album is just a compilation of all of the songs that Native Nod ever had as a band, and for the most part, it is astounding. This band has frequently shifting guitar melodies, and driving, but not abrasive, drum beats.
I'd say that as a very early band, these songs are stripped of almost everything except their emotional power. The singer's voice is sometimes sung, and sometimes a powerfully frantic wail. Often times he speaks instead of singing which, I think, gives the album a feel of a poetry reading, especially since the lyrics are based so much on personal feeling. This cd also contains the epic song "Tangled" which goes through various tempo/mood changes in its six minutes. It's probably also one of the most dramatic songs I've heard to date. All in all, the majority of these songs are examples of fine writing, and the listener feels exactly what the band wants them to feel.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest Punk/Emo bands ever, June 4, 2003

This review is from: Today Puberty Tomorrow the World (Audio CD)

First off, let me say this: the audio samples on Amazon do not do this record justice. Native Nod's music is very intricate and cannot be understood by a mere 10 second sample. Unlike, most of the so-called "emo" bands I hear today, Native Nod was a fixture of a real underground scene in NYC in the early 90's. Their lyrics are profound and the music is gut wrenching. If you haven't heard the band then just take the chance and buy it. It will be more than worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars emo youngsters, March 23, 2001

this cd collects the entire native nod discography. all considered, that's only a few 7"s and a song from the fear of smell comp. the band was comprised of silly little teenagers and the songs show it in their earnest energy. some tracks are a little spotty, but the song "tangled" is well worth the purchase price alone.
