Make that three of us (although tbh I don't think it'll stay there once the summer/fall releases get underway).

It's in my top 20 for sure. Wow. I've listened to probably too many albums this year. I've been on a listening spree since Feb.

As raw as it is polished, the self-titled debut LP from LA alt-rockers Dead Sara is a promising beginning to their career. Playing loud guitar-driven rock, there is a strong classic rock influence here, as well as a bluesy southern feel. Front & center is the strong voice of Emily Armstrong, whose distinctive wail may take a little getting used to. Backing her is an accomplished rhythm section & lead guitarist Siouxsie Medley, whose playing is adventurous, yet fitting. There’s some work to do on variety & subtlety, but this is still a rather consistent album. Recommended Tracks: Lemon Scent, Weatherman, Monumental Holiday & Test On My Patience.

Subtlety is overrated. I hope they won't be subtler on the next album. They may lose the edge.

Actually, I'm with Davey on this one. I thought that some moments on the album were of serious need of tempering. Case in point - "Weatherman", which has this one line that I've never really understood (despite my having quoted it in this review): "I'll sing as the regret for all that un-American..."



So yeah. Some polishing is definitely needed. But still - and again, as DaveyBoy said - this is definitely a promising beginning.

Yeah, I think it's a bit overrated. I'm actually surprised so many Sputnikers like this.

I think it's underrated. This album is quite amazing, especially heavy tracks...

Yeah the heavy tracks are definitely better than the slower once. "Monumental Holiday" and "Lemon Scent" in particular rule hard.

You're making progress Irving, first there was a pic of her sitting down. Now she's standing up so you must have peaked her curiosity somehow.

These guys were probably the best band I saw at Warped Tour. Met them all after, they were all really cool people too, which is a plus.
