Par	Charles Sikkenga "ceguru" (Grand Haven, MI USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

OK, I'm one of those types who buys too many CDs, too often because I hear a catchy indie-pop gem and hope I've found the next great thing. Most of those discs get played once and then are off to the resale bin. But every now and then, I stumble on to something that can still provoke a sense of joy and wonder. This is one of those albums and I have to admit it caught me out of leftfield.

On the surface this is straightforward, high energy pop in a punky/new wave vein. The guitars are uniformly sharp, the vocals winsome and the hooks piled on. Its also highly literate--I can't think of another artist who uses the word "ossify" anywhere in a rock record, let alone in maybe the catchiest point of the best tune on the record. Most of the songs don't follow the typical verse/chorus/verse structure but tend to be longer narratives. Don't fear though, they're catchy as heck and there's not a weak tune in the batch.

Reading the other reviews, I see references to a number of other bands. To me, the reference points that keep popping up are Squeeze and Split Enz, although this rocks out slightly harder than either. Whatever. The fact is, this is one of the best discs I've picked up in months and its stayed in my heavy rotation for abot 6 weeks now and I don't see it going anywhere soon.

NOTE: I don't go back so far as Chisel, but Leo/Pharmacists previous effort, The Tyranny of Distance is nearly as good and worth checking out.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Pass It On
Ted Leo is too smart and too good for main stream music. This ranks among the best of 2003, and yet to learn this you must search and hear from others. Read more

5.0�toiles sur 5 Legend in the making
One of the best albums released in 2001 was "The Tyranny of distance," filled with powerful hooks and tons of feeling; it seemed unlikely that Ted could make a follow up... Read more
