Better POWERPOP direction...shoddy packaging...OUCH!!
Well, being from Long Island, these guys have always been written about heavily in these parts. . they're from Rockville Center. . . and when their debut album was out, I bought it to see what the fuss was about and I HATED IT. . . because I hated the emo crap that was shoved down my throat, ugh!! And that album was the epitome of that sound. I then avoided that whole scene. . . tried "Louder Now", thinking things would be different, nope.

Then, something happened. . . Adam appeared on Cyndi Lauper's "The Body Acoustic" on a cool "Love Changes Everything", the whole emo thing imploded and certain bands from that scene somehow sounded better without that "emo" tag. . . not emo at all. . . I really love Fall Out Boy, who are basically smart powerpop!!! Then TBS changed their lineup, and had a song on that Warner Bros tribute album called "Covered", doing Tom Petty's "You Wreck Me", love that song, pretty cool cover!!! Now, they have powerpop producer David Kahn as their new producer, as he worked with cool people like Paul McCartney, the Bangles and Regina Spektor and more.

I like the new song "Sink Into Me". . . it's powerpop!!! Catchier and lotsa harmonies and handclaps. . . maybe their older material will sound better to me as well??? The album got an A in both Newsday and Entertainment Weekly. Who knows. . . weirder things have happened.

Bad news tho. . . I got the deluxe edition and the packaging is HORRIBLE!!! The DVD is in the tray, but the CD is in the cardboard sleeve, on top of the enclosed booklet!!! What were the Warner folks thinking??? It shoulda been a double digipack or something. . . knocked a notch for that. . . better music tho at least. . . OUCH!! .
