    The minor tunings work and, as a result, Nobody Realizes gives Terry Malts the added depth some may have felt was missing.

    Burying emotional depth and even sensitivity beneath healthily sarcastic sounds, alienated lyrics, and cheeky titles like "Comfortably Dumb," Terry Malts have made an unassumingly sophisticated album.

    An album that joins the innumerable ranks of successful low-aiming punk records from the past thirty years that chronicle boring suburban life and that light-bulb moment when you realize that what you buy isn’t who you are. Except, of course, when you, person of impeccable taste, buy this album.

    Singer Phil Benson still croons in a tone much like that of Morrissey or Robert Smith, and the guitars still crunch through each urgent track, but we’ve heard it all before, and rowdy, noisy punk songs lose their luster quickly.
