A collection of messy, angst filled songs that make you feel like you're in highschool again... if only highschool was as awesome as this record is

ah youthful exuberance the album and still as good as when i first heard it. if you're looking for a fun and chaotic midwest emo album with a punk ethos this is what you need. math rock, post-hardcore, midwest emo, punk and a little experimentation put into a blender for a delicious emo smoothie. great blend of mathy noodling, quiet loud builds, passionate screams and off-kilter singing. drumming on this is also a surprising standout for the genre with speed and constant cymbal crashing blending with the noodley riffs to create controlled chaos. tim kinsella has always been the unheralded brother but he delivers a textbook charming off-key emo vocal performance, his unhinged screams at the end of "little league" are of course the standout.
the fastness and looseness of this along with the almost nonsensical lyrics at points make for something truly special. not sloppy as it is calculated but it has that feel that can only be created by inexperience. the kinsellas, davey von bohlen and victor villarreal were all in great projects after but this might be the one might just be their best collective effort by just being plain fun and capturing that magic lightning in a bottle energy which could only be had in 1995 in the not yet over-saturated emo scene.
check out: "little league" and "oh messy life"

An emo album w/ great instrumentals but the vocals just come off as punk rock yelling, and can barely understand a single word. That's a difficult compromise for the instrumentations to play so well you don't even care what's being yelled (at least for me personally). This is a fun, but regrettably short, album.

Raw and imperfect, but that's how most new ideas come into the world.
