This
band has the greatest name in the world. Every 20-something
year old male knows the meaning of this band name. I
loved the extra lives in Contra. You could beat the
whole game using this code. This offered hours of entertainment
to those of us who owned or had friends who owned an
old school Nintendo. This record is much like Contra
in the fact that it kicks ass and offers up, while not
hours of entertainment, at least a good 40 minutes of
it. This is not the type of record I expected at all.
By just the name I expected some sort of weird spazz
core much like that of xbxrx, but what I got was an
album that reminds me of a cross between American Football,
Mineral, and Matt Pond PA.. From the opening acoustic
guitars of "You Landed so Gracefully," to
the passionate screams of "Time Wastes No Time,"
to the intricate guitar work "Muscle, When Will
I see It", this album is a ten pound golden nugget
in a five pound bag. Definitely one of the most promising
bands I have heard in a while. I will definitely check
out their next release.
