    An oddly compelling record that demands repeat listening.

    Ultimately, Mind Spiders is tailor-made for those of us who value that four-on-the-floor reverie above all else.

    What you're really hearing is the sound of Mark Ryan thinking out loud, through song. And even though this can be frustrating at times, it's still plenty refreshing to get such an eclectic survey of what most reformed punks are taking for pop music nowadays.

    The band's mastermind Mark Ryan wrote and recorded most of the songs all by himself, and it shows in the album's tossed-off, low-fi feel.
