Oh Jeff, you're just so fantastic and charming and lovable and drunk and hopeless and dirty and it's perfect.

If punk rock had itself a barmy, mad professor to call its own, Bomb The Music Industry!s Jeff Rosenstock would be at the very top of the list of candidates. Taking a spin through Scrambles, it'd be easy enough to see him laughing maniacally around the album's wicked brew of attitude-fueled, messily composed DIY punk. While there's very little of what would be called a formula (Scrambles is far too interesting and varied to pin it down to any one recipe book, especially the loose "folk-punk" label the band is associated with), Rosenstock and co. assemble an alchemical mix of ingredients including a whirlwind set of piano driven backroom rockers, furious acoustic tirades and quirky but hard-edged forays of introspection all rolled into one. And as usual, sitting centre stage among it all is Rosenstock's biting lyrical scalpel, his powerful delivery underscored by the force of his playful irony, conjuring enough empathy to pluck ever so softly at the emotions while remaining irresistibly, absolutely and undeniably fun at the same time. And to top it all off? Well, the band is giving Scrambles away absolutely free online. Could you really ask for any more?

Stay young, stay fun. Do the stuff that you like and get a little bit pumped. BtMI! shows the ska/punk world that they're the best of the underground.

i guess reading the background story for the lyrics on this album makes it much easier to fall in love with it, but it's not like i wouldnt have eventually fell in love with scrambles anyway. i remember saying "man, btmi! would have been my favorite band if i would have listened to them back when i was in high school" after listening to 'band minus album'. but after listening to scrambles, i thought "wow i fucking LOVE btmi!". jeff's lyrics might make it seem like he is a miserable twenty-something year old stumbling through life, and he may be, but really hes just like a lot of young adults afraid of growing up. of course going out and getting hammered all the time can be awesome, but jeff does an amazing job of describing the shitty side of the broke rockstar partying lifestyle. do i even have to mention how relatable this is or how creatively these songs are put together?
