    i tried to get into this record. it seems like everything is in place. but there is something missing.... there's no real feeling or emotion... and it ends up being soul-less and in the end totally disposable. i can't listen to this album again and it's headed to a shallow grave in the local record store's used bin. there was only one decent song "Trucker Speed"... i tried to get into this record. it seems like everything is in place. but there is something missing.... there's no real feeling or emotion... and it ends up being soul-less and in the end totally disposable. i can't listen to this album again and it's headed to a shallow grave in the local record store's used bin. there was only one decent song "Trucker Speed"... other than that it's a bunch of bland indie rock made by bland indie rockers trying to sound like T-REX...

  1. They make a better Shins than a Stooges. For anyone looking for a relative of the former with an interestingly rough sound and loads of potential, the M's are good to go right now; but the rest of us are stuck mining gems from amidst muck, like normal.
  2. Definitely the sound of a band indie lovers need to check out immediately.

    The M's understand the value of a smartly delayed compositional payoff. [Mar 2006, p.124]
