myth takes was the first dance punk album i LOVED. Tracks #1-#6 are non-stop killer dance-rock party action. It sounds like a rockin' electronica album but all those instruments are organic. The albums starts "It only takes a little bit of glamour glimmer / only just a little bit of shake-or-shiver / nothing never matters 'til it's shattered / smothered and covered splattered all over manhattan / sha, sha, sha sha sha-doobie / sometimes it's really just like the movies" with a mellow, near muffled-talking delivery atop bass backbone. The song, and much of the album, has the feel of an electronica song; but it's all "organic" -- all real instruments going on -- guitar, bass, keys and drums. "all my heroes are weirdos" is one of three great songs on the album (along with "must be the moon" and "heart of hearts"). i like the "a capella" (with drums) about 2/3 of the way through and the delivery of "weirdos" at the chorus. Fun song, as is "must be the moon" with powers in with guitar & drums (but sounds like a dance tune) all about a hot one night stand stating " kissing in the cab on the way back cross the bridge / she said "love is love but a f*ck is what it is" / "and what's that?" she must have read my mind / cuz she looked in2 my eyes and she said "a good time" ". It must be the moonLIGHT (and cool FX to close the song). I wish songs like this were played at the church & vinyl in all those years of clubbin'. "heart of hearts" is one of the multi-section songs i love. it creeps up slow, threatening to kick your arse, and then slowly does. the high-pitched guitar lurking in the background carries the song musically. The whole song churns with delight. It's simple lyrically, but a ton o' fun. The stammered "heart of hearts" eventually rolls into part 2 of the song and the musical spazz out. i love how the "heart of hearts" stammer ends in silence then that high-pitched guitar kicks the song back in. i love how the drums fight the guitars at the end. The first 6 songs kick arse (through "sweet life" and its "ABCD" alphabet soup chorus which was a mini-fav with bean & i) but with a little party reprieve at "yadnus"(god DID rest on the 7th day, right?) before one last top jam "bend over beethoven". i like the higher-register chorus of "a new name". Almost has a franz new wavey attitude with the guitar during the chorus and is so danceable, especially at the end of the song.
