Peak nerd rock with angular rhythms, anxious guitar lines, tight drumming, and a restraint that nicely borders on hypnotism. Trve proto-indie that does sound like 1980 but also it sounds like the futuristic sound of 1980.

'Crazy Rhythms' very cleverly masquerades as a more new wave pop-oriented type of post-punk album, where in reality it displays the same level of philosophical anguish and musical sophistication as its most prominent post-punk contemporaries. It only uses those components to emulate a sound upbeat enough to provoke a positive and hopeful aftertaste. Also to be fun. It's really fun.

Crazy Rhythms is the debut album released by The Feelies, an avant-pop band with a bit of jangle. The studio recording is nothing short of spectacular, in particular the wonderful, pristine guitar tones. There is a jittery, almost insecure vibe consistent throughout the track list, as though the band members are aware of their lightening caught in a bottle during the sessions and not wanting to let it escape. The Boy with the Perpetual Nervousness, Moscow Nights, Raised Eyebrows and Crazy Rhythms are all exemplary standouts. The Beatles cover, Everybody's Got Something to Hide is a neat interpretation and on the reissue, always check out The Rolling Stones' Paint It Black. Although most likely inconspicuous in 1980, the cover is now rather recognizable and clearly inspired Weezer's own debut artwork (The Blue Album).

"Raised Eyebrows" is one of the all time greatest guitar songs, ever, of any genre. That's not exaggeration either, seriously, go listen to it right now, simply one of the best songs of the 1980s if not ever.
