    You get a lot of elastic, post-punk guitar explorations (à la Mission of Burma)--as evidenced by such standouts as the album opening 'Your Movement' and 'Tremble.' But then just when you think you have the Shackelton lads figured out, the Joy Division-ish 'Soft Heart' comes peaking around the corner.

    Ah, but they’re young and impassioned, so we’ll let the Shackeltons emote a little too much here on their self-titled debut (again, at least they’re not emo).

    A half-dozen times on their debut, the Shackeltons sound completely convincing, and that's about six more times than most bands ever manage.
