Title: Album of the Year
Product review: Stripped down Billy Corgan and Doug Martsch garage recordings. That is a great description of this band's sound. On this album you will hear hints of Built to Spill, Smashing Pumpkins, Lake Trout, Deftones, Coheed, and Clap Your Hands, but there is no ripping off going on here. Some of these influences dominate the album, and others show up on only one or two songs. What other band has a sound which is that wide ranging?There is a great pace to this album - very well arranged. No disrespect to Built to Spill and Band of Horses, but this is by far the best album of the year. And I really, really love the other two.Here is hoping that this album opens the door for a good band with a somewhat similar sound and a lot of talent in Lake Trout. It is far past time to banish the Montreal - New York glam punk retro 80's sound, and this is the album to do it.
