This album is really good. How’s that for an opener? I mean really damn good. It baffles me that groups like this aren’t more well known. In that respect they remind me of a Devotchka, a really solid outfit with really catchy tunes that simply have a hard time breaking that fame ceiling. Its strange… hmmm…. Also pitchfork pretty much panned it with a 6.9. (OK, its not a pan, but… a 6.9, c,mon.) And though stereogum claims they have “A BIG thing” for them they don’t bother reviewing the album. feh! OK, well the album is beautiful. There are a few tracks that kind of fall flat, but with 19 tracks (one being a minute of silence) you are bound to lose a few. If you don’t know the back-story I am not going into it, but it’s sad; involving the death of the lead singers child. The songs center around this fact, which makes for some moving stuff. Chain Reaction and Dance for the Dead soar. Chemicals Collide and Take Your Medicine are also great… They are all great. Why don’t more people like them?… I don’t know. Wierd. One day you will pay for that shitty review Pitchfork… dearly.
