To me, this is the acoustic canadian more rocked out version of Ladytron. Well, a lot more than that, but that is what it initially reminded me of. But when I bought this lp a week ago, it has not left my mp3 player since, and I have listened to it over 20 times now. I LOVE THIS. Reminds me of the musicality of the Legendary Pink dots, The kick ass song writing of the beatles, and the cute alternative canadian charm and angst of both Tegan and Sara, and I don’t care, I like TEGAN MORE. AHAAHAHAHAHAHAH take that sara. What stands out he most on this lp? By far, The vocal harmonies. Sometimes its haunting.

I cannot even tell you, these girls are so talented. So much power and emotion in their voices. Both can play instruments very well. Something I love about real musicians. There seems to be much more emotion in the music and sounds.

Sure, some of this is like ultra pop. But it has this desperation to it, this urgency and emotion that really calls out to me. I have not liked a pop record in a long long time. I really love the frantic sound of “are you ten years ago”. I love the drums on this LP. I only wish i could hook up with a drummer like this and a studio to really record it well like on this record. I am a sucker for well done acoustic guitar that doesn’t sound corny, I think they write with and record acoustic guitars perfect.

If there is one complaint I have, it is that the record is WAY TO FUCKING HOT and as a result sometimes the mid range and high hits get a tad crunchy for me(this could because of the mp3s I bought, I don’t own the actual cd, just the amazon mp3 downloads). I wish people would master stuff lower like they did in the 80s. I’m sorry it just sounds better and more hi-fi, if you want loud, buy loud hifi audio stereos!

My Favorite song is “Relief next to me” Especially the part where she says in my slamming in my frame, then my framework and then the crash hits. I love details, I love how powerful the vocals sound and how it really pushes the song. So many little details. The songs are short and and they possess you to listen to them over and over and over. I discovered this band on Myspace, it was on a fan’s page as the default music. I went to their myspace and fell in love with the songs and videos. I love their demeanor in their videos. Their Home movies made me laugh as well.

The best songs are Back in your head, Releif next to me, Nineteen, Are you ten years ago, The Con, Burn down your life.
