the rest of the discog essentially sounds nothing like this, but all of their albums have something to offer

I see you 4'd Crisis and 3.5'd Cardinals so you definitely exhibit a preference for the cleaner, straightforward Alexis.



Just out of curiosity, about how many times have you spun this one through?

i don't know if i'd stand by that 4 for crisis today, but I do like cardinals
I remember thinking that watch out had a lot of cool atmospheric elements that they never revisited, but again I haven't listened to it in a while

"but I do like cardinals"



Storm alt confirmed. (Kidding, but he'll get this)



For me each album got worse and then they rebounded a bit with Dog's Blood cause they ditched the watered down approach taken on Cardinals and started fucking with song structures again.

Cardinals may as well have been a different band but I liked the straightforward, alt rock sound for a one off. They did it well

Listening to watch out now and it holds up a lot better than the S/T for me

Yeah it's a good song
You brought up a lot of nostalgia for me with this review. I remember learning counter parts, 44 calibre, and kennedy curse on the guitar back when this came out

I think this album in particular actually inserts nostalgic feelings into the listener's head, although I know you weren't saying it in that sense.

it would be nowhere near as charming but I wish we could hear these songs re-recorded by the band today. now that dallas is actually a gr8 singer and they have a drummer that can keep time and stuff.
