treble charger plays a great style of alternative and all their albums are great. They deserve more exposure. They are a truly great band. Some great songs on this cd are, Morale, Even Grable and Sick Friend Called. You should check out their other albums.

This is my least favourite treble charger album. First time I listened I didn't like but they soon grew on me so it'll probably be the same with others. But still its the least attractive for a top-40 fan; nc-17 appeals more. Don't judge just by these songs if you don't like.

Morale, Even Grable, Case In Fact, and Slight aren't that catchy songs. Cleric's Hip is okay too. They may be good to indie fans but not TC's fans who also like mainstream music. Sick Friend Called and Motor Control are more enjoyable. Disclaimer isn't of much effort like the rest but its relaxing and depressing you can listen to lots once it grows on you. And Half Down is sluggish, the vocals aren't good, mellow but not depressing like Disclaimer.

I got this CD in '96, but it's the original version. You know, the one with: 1. screen zine 2. morale 3. even grable 4. case in fact 5. cleric's hip 6. sick friend called 7. motor control 8. slight

So, why does the track listing seem to be different? did BMG get treble charger to make some new songs? Oh well. Let's get to the point. This CD is amazing! Morale is obviously the catchiest tune on the disc, but the rest of the songs are dope. Catch the videos for morale and even grable, they're so indie...of course you wouldn't really get even grable's video if you're not into Canadian music. This is a great followup to nc-17; they crank up the volume a little more. nc-17 is amazing as well; it is VERY indie sounding and I love it. Maybe it's me is alright, but the songs are more mainstream and MuchMusic friendly (as well as radio friendly). I have all 3 CDs and I'm torn between nc-17 and self=title for being my favourite. The enhanced Cd part of self=title adds bonus points, though. The "he is just a rat" is good for a laugh, and gives a sample of lots of other excellent Canadian bands, some from Sonic Unyon which is tc's original label. Also you should check out tc's website (although I warn you it's not updated often). So, if anyone knows why my Sonic Unyon self=title is different, send me an e-mail or something.

While I prefer treble charger's 2nd (well, actually third, since NC-17 was their first CD) release, Maybe It's Me, Self=title is a cool intro into this incredible group. Self=title is kinda rough and it took me multiple listenings to really get into the feel and sound of the songs. Once I was more familiar w/ the tracks, I began to like it better, and some of the best tracks include Slight, Even Grable, Morale, Motor Control, and Case in Fact. On the first run, the songs aren't all that impressive, but after multiple listenings the tracks become much more appealing. I recommend self=title, but, if you want to hear treble charger as they are now and at their best, then maybe it's me is a better choice.

I am a huge fan of treble charger, I am from Canada but live abroad, and what's so great about the band is how they're such a small(popular wise) and you cant buy there CDs in a store any where in the World except for the US or Canada (I'm pretty sure anyway).
My favourite songs are: cleric's hip-self title, mercury smile- May be it's me.

i AM LOOKING FOR THE NAME OF THE CD THAT THE TREBLE CHARGERS SANG THE SONG FRIEND OF MINE
