No Sir Nihilism Is Not Practical was great, nothing since has been even average. Listened to their last album once and gave up on it -- Josh has gotten so preachy lately.



But darn it, this review REALLY makes me want to check it out.

Sweet! these guys are from my hometown. Haven't listened to them much since Ivory left. Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do.

@andcas, i found it all really pretentious, particularly anorexia...okay, nervosa had its moments, i'll give you that. but for the most part it promised a LOT more than it delivered

okay guys we're gonna take a bunch of kinda simple songs and chuck a bunch of distortion and animal sound effects in there, write up an overwrought story concept that you have to read for the lyrics to make sense on a "deeper level", and take 10 songs to establish that the protagonist in our story is arrogant and arrogance is bad, and we're going to call it a masterpiece.



it's a Sunday school lesson set to what I thought was really insubstantial music. it lacked the frantic, tongue-sort-of-in-cheek approach that made No Sir so good.

didn't see it live, but i do imagine that would help.



"I also thought the story was extremely well-written and captivating to follow along with mood of the music."



and that's where we will disagree. I think the story for Anorexia was a teeny bit better than the music, but not enough to redeem it (whereas Nervosa had pretty good music with an overall worse story).

But in all fairness maybe I need to spin both albums again. And then their next two and actually give them a shot. But I've been stuck on Killers and Abel because I don't let myself stop listening to current things until I've reviewed them.

i forgot he wrote anything, i think i got really turned off by the lyrics on Who Can Know It and I figured "oh great, he's just gonna be preachy all the time"



but hey i'll try anything once

who can know it? is more of a worship album than a preachy album, but to a lot of people they're one in the same so i get it. but yeah this is nothing like wcki? (big surprise) and the lyrics return to "no sir" form in the sense that they're littered with metaphors and they're intelligently written.



and ya his books are off the chain. i actually hate reading but i couldn't put "the joke that we play on the world" down. i read it for seven straight hours until i finished it. it gives great insight into the insane world of showbread.
