When bands like Jesus Lizard who would just as much fight you as play for you. At least it seemed that way. I mean the bass player would just give you this death stare for the entire concert. I never once saw that dude blink. Not once! And he was the sane one in the band. Yow would just randomly jump into the audience at times and start throwing punches. I’m not kidding. I was there! But, worse than his punch was the filthy sweat that used to come pouring off his body. You’d feel as if you’d been slimed. It was worse than playing shirts & skins basketball at high noon in August. You’d totally reek afterwards. Honestly, you never new what what he was going to happen. Going to an indie rock show was always part performance theater, part concert. It was a full on adventure. And that changed. This was before indie rock became synonymous with sensitive, over-educated college boys, and it was dominated by dudes on such labels as SST, Touch & Go, and Amphetamine Reptile. Bands like the Butthole Surfers and Big Black. These bands wanted to fuck shit up. I mean it was called Noise Rock for christ sake. And then the tides changed. Emo happened. And like a wild weed that gains root in an untended garden, it just took over everything. And indie rock became … gulp,… downright huggable & lovable. Adorable even. Garden State took over as the best representative movie of the scene as opposed to my beloved Repo Man. Sigh. Annyways…. one of the key bands that played a role in that change were Death Cab For Cutie. And don’t get me wrong. I adore Death Cab! Well at least their first three albums. I really do. And then Ben Gibbard started writing songs as if he was soundtracking The O.C. or something. But Pinback, whose debut came out just a year after Death Cab’s were every bit as good. If not better. They sounded so similar that some people (I won’t name names or anything) actually think that they pilfered Death Cab’s sound! Hogwash. Pinback have even gone on record saying that they had never even heard of Death Cab back in 1999. And I believe ‘em! I’ve noticed over the course of rock/pop history that eerily similar sounds often develop concurrently yet completely independently. It’s kind of fascinating. (Rate Your Music calls this shade of Indie Pop “Midwest Emo" for what’s its worth. I learned something new today! lol. ) Pinback's debut is chock full of stunning, resonant, emotive, catchy indie pop with their calling card being the beautiful entwined harmonies of Rob Crow and Armistead Burwell Smith IV. But just about every song has a subtle secret weapon as well. Whether it be the badass speed metal kick drums on “Chaos Engine” or the diabolical, lullaby worthy chorus on “Shag.” The subtle scratching on “Tripoi" & “Hurley.” Or the irresistible da da da dada harmonies on “Loro”. These subtle touches & details completely reward repeat spins. But of course what keeps you coming back for more are those harmonies… and the songs - those insanely catchy, hummable songs. Grade: A. This is easily one of the best Indie Pop albums of the turn of the century. They’re every bit as good as Death Cab’s early albums if not a smidge or two better. It’s always interesting to me how some bands make it and others don’t. And if you yearn for Death Cab’s early days even a bit, then you need to check this platter out. They really should have been just as big. Maybe if they were just a bit cuter! Or new the executive producer of Dawson’s Creek was a fan. Anyways, I’m going to snuggle up with their adorable debut as it emotes its way all the way to number 14! "  [+]  Reply

It sounds like a rawer version of the Soundtracks for the Blind sound. Feel Happiness brilliantly transforms from noise jam to heartbreaking lullaby, Jarboe gives a disturbing vocal performance in I Crawled, Blood Promise gets extended as a post-rock crescendo.... The seconds disc is largely just Soundtracks for the BLind songs with lower sound quality, but the heavy version of All Lined Up and the Jarboe ballad Lavender are fantastic."  [+]  Reply

It's a definite improvement on their debut, in terms of quality. The title track is a fun reworking of Chuck Berry's sweet little sixteen. Other standouts are the absolutely beautiful lonely sea, Brian's fist great ballad, and, noble surfer. There's quite a few instrumental surf tunes on here, and they really add to the fun.

I don't think they want us to change any minds here, they just want us to listen and think about what is going on in current events. The two primary songwriters are in good focused form here, and though this record can't compare to their classics in the early 2000s, it's still worth while for any casual fan, no matter what political opinions you hold dear.
