4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Nov 20 2004
By J. Patterson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I just got this from a friend who works at a radio station. I've never heard this band before, but this is the most unique and interesting disc that's been released this year. This band's usage of off-beat rhythms and staggered arrangements makes for a quirky musical sound (similar to some tracks off of Radiohead's Amnesiac). The vocals have NOT been processed. Fans of digital perfection will be dismayed, but fans of honest exposures of individuality such as Bright Eyes will be touched. Related to the lyrics, I am especially enthused to hear a quiet sound with lyrics that don't all mope about life. The lyrics are philosophical whimsy about living "in this worded world." Standout tracks are the album opener (which is especially good after listening to the last track, then letting your CD player bring you back to the beginning.) Half-Deaf Girl Named Echo is by far the catchiest groove on the disc, and will have you singing into the middle of the night in no time.

My favorite line is "Now I'm convinced that you are from Mars." Better than Britney
4.0 out of 5 stars Something different Oct 21 2004

I used to think Joan of Arc was a bit boring, but this album is really creative. Using alot of random instruments and sounds, its definately an adventure. I think that Sonic Youth's deviance could be too weird, but this ablum stays within the realm of listenability..

Thanks for not doing the same old thing. Its creepy sometimes in a Mercury Rev kind of way, and thats good
