Title: An island of hope in a sea of musical diarrhea
Review: One can only hope that it won't be another 12 years between "Strays" and the next release from JA. Where they were one mighty alt-rock gods, they are now giving notice to all the... "nu-metal" vets like Bizkit and Linkin that there is a better way to rock. There is more to music than just attitude, although Ferell & company have plenty to go 'round.From start to finish this is a tight disc. "Just Because" is guaranteed to get you moving, "Price" runs the gamut from high to low and the most underrated track on the disc is the title track "Strays". It slowly builds before delivering a sonic boom."Strays" shares the boom and crash of "Nothing's Shocking" but the arty side of "Ritual" makes it's presence felt from time to time. This should be on your "Have to get right now!!!!" list if you have even a passing interest in JA.
