Sowing Season, Millstone, Degausser great tunes but I just don't know man.

This album is so far from contrived

Album Rating: 2.0

Some of it to me just screams 90s rock bobbins like Stiltskin or that Swedish bloke who had the one hit with making me glorious or whatever it was.

Album Rating: 5.0

As in created artificially rather than spontaneously yep this album reeks of it in places with its downright overwroughtness.

"Some of it to me just screams 90s rock bobbins like Stiltskin or that Swedish bloke who had the one hit with making me glorious or whatever it was."



They are taking heavily from 90s music (but it's mid 2000s, tons of people were still taking heavy influences from the 90s). This thing takes influences all over, college rock, indie rock, emo, post-hardcore, alt rock, and even some slowcore.

It's not the musical technicalities of the thing it's the emotive nature it trys to convey that comes across a tad fake and seems a bit desperate. Good Morning, Captain this ain't. Either that or I just have to admit I'm a doddery old fucker who just doesn't get it.

Best tune on here, don't get me wrong it's a great album but as some epoch making masterpiece it's lost on me.

chill out guys, so he doesn't love this album like we do. Let's put those pitchforks down.



I feel like a large part of loving this album is reliant on you being an angsty high-schooler when you first hear it. If you listen to this album/band by the time you're in your early to mid 20s, you're gonna miss the hype altogether.



I remember skipping math to buy this album the day it came out (one of only two classes I ever skipped in high school) and then driving around listening to it for weeks after in my friend's run down Toyota pickup.

I picked this up when I was 12 or 13 and hated it. Wasn't until I was 17 that I got into it. Regardless, the Aids Postulate is supported.

college people might notice that this borrows so heavily from so many college rock bands and not give this a 5/5.

I actually liked Deja more for the longest time (that was my high school record) but still liked this. It wasn't until years later, when I was on the top of this beuatiful hill on the ocean near Dublin that I had that "omgholyshit" listen and I realized that this was the best thing they ever did. So yeah, I was like 21 when I fell in love with it, but I had liked it since I was 15.

Well done Aids a great response which I can accept.



Here is the thing though I can relate to the angst thing massively it's one of the driving forces behind all the classic and for me a vital ingredient but with this album it's done without the conviction and fire to resonate it just lacks.....something.
