Planes Mistaken For Stars - Self-titled

Good stuff. They say that they are emo, but to me they sound like an indie rock band with a frontman that smoked a few too many ciggerets. But the smoking things prbbly wrong since they're only kids. They've put out a coupla more albums, but I think this is the best. Angsty, tough, youthful, and awesome. (FYI they are known as a stoner band nowadays, but I've heard the latest album goes back to their roots)

8/10(The singer's voice takes me out of it)

Selma Lawd -LAWD- Selma! (This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb)

Let it be know that I dont like this band.

Now let it be know that because I dont like them doesnt mean I cannot recognize that they are pretty good. Some stuff is infectiously catchy, annoyingly so, and well thought out. I dont like how they talk about the Vietnam war, I mean c'mon! They were'nt even alive then, or how they sound just a little too much like Ghost Mice. If this whole folk rock stuff is your bag then check these guys out. You might be like me and find them to be good, but hate them, or you may be like some people and love 'em. I'll leave the choice up to you. At any rate, if you like it, delete it and order the album off of this amazing intraweb.

So to summerize:
Stupid name
Annoyingly catchy songs
Folk you!
I think Bob Dylan would be proud, but I never met the guy...

The Red Nation OF EROGJORJ!!! (Russian Circles)

This is possibly the only post-rock band that doesnt bore me. (These guys and Your Dad Vs. My Dad) Their stuff is kinda like death cab minus lyrics, plus some melodic metal stuff. It rises and falls, builds and collapses, and it keeps you wanting. Fun to listen to while reading, writting (if your into that), ridding in a car, or just something to brush your teeth to and wake up with. This 7" only has 2 tracks, but you find yourself listening to them over and over again.

BTW, if you've got anything else by this band plz upload it.

10/10(Post-rock that doesnt make me sleepy or bored.)

I doubt Dante would approve of this new level. (Hell Is For Heroes)

Dispite the boss album cover the music is really middle of the road. Nothing will blow you away, and nothing will catch you by suprise. It is'nt bad per say, but nothing more than a radio rock album. To Be honest I was so dissapointed. The title and band name made me hope for something a bit harder, and maybe even original. While it does have a few stand out tracks, its all just to be expected.

I may not love them, but they must have some following. Their third cd recently came out, and I've heard nothing about it. Maybe they have grown and changed, maybe not.

6/10(Great for a couple of listens and then forget it)
