-That was my initial reaction, it hasn't changed much. 'Partie Traumatic' falls victim to boring composition, squeaky clean production, and indie-pop cliches. Reggie Youngblood sounds a whole hell of a lot like Robert Smith yes, and true his backing band can drop some pretty addicting/danceable beats, but as a whole it's trite and pretty boring.
Better luck next time. | 2 09.02.08 |  | The Cool Kids The Bake Sale
| 3.5 09.02.08 |  | Grouper Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill Impressively beautiful, and quite utterly spellbinding at points \'Dragging a Dead Dear Up a Hill\' is a flat out fantastic record. Liz Harris\' brand of shoegaze is a fuzzy, confined mess of rapture. Somehow she\'s able to manage a great balance between her buzz and beauty, which aids to the albums great success. \'Heavy Water/I\'d Rather Be Sleeping\' may also be one of the most gorgeous tracks I\'ve heard in recent memory(or ever). It can be a bit long, and it\'s a grower -- kind of, but overall she\'s crafted a near masterpiece record. | 4 09.02.08 |  | Kidcrash New Ruins
