As Jeremy Aaron states, this album does sound a lot like the bands he mentioned... but not in a good way. None of the songs quite sound "whole," either due to the fact there's clearly way too much crammed into each song in a non-cohesive manner, or because there's just something else missing or needs to be replaced. Very average, boring album. And the album art is fucking terrible.

Not much to say about this. Very average, neither good or bad.

Maybe this one, in time, will turn out to not be an instant classic like I think. At the moment it is definitely classic.

I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone marks quite the evolution for Crime in Stereo, but the change probably shouldn't be too surprising to the astute observer. The album finds the perfect balance of aggression and atmosphere, evoking shades of everyone from Sunny Day Real Estate, Engine Down, Dredg, recent Thrice, and most obviously, Devil and God-era Brand New. Punk purists will undoubtedly scoff, but this is the sound of a band that's experimenting, discovering, and still continuing to grow musically. Here, they reap handsome rewards for their ventures.
