sorry, i've been terrible at updating this lately. trying to change that though. chances are you already have this album if you're reading this, but they are probably one of my favorites when it comes to the whole 90's emo thing. i first bought this album out of impulse. i was in a small record store in dekalb a few years ago and recognized the cover as being a polyvinyl band, etc etc. before then, i have never heard this band, or really heard much of them, but boy am i glad i bought this record. it starts off as being a slower album with "rise", just a guitar part with caithlin de marrais singing, the drums kicking in after a while. but the album picks up with "planetary". my personal favorite song on the album has to be "breakfast of champions" followed by "i'm melting!". as a whole, this album is absolutely fantastic. by far the best release they put out.
overall: 10/10, hands down
I agree, it's one of the all-time classics. When I saw them at Abbey Pub in Chicago, must have been around 2001-03, somewhere in there, they played Planetary and Broken Radio, and it was fantastic. The skyline was two gazes long ... and it's never been quite as long since that night.
