So the other day when i was giving my boyfriend shit for not having Relationship of Command in his itunes or on his ipod, i remembered this album.

[possible rant coming]
And if you are unfamiliar with that album by name.... then please.... please take a moment out of your very busy existence and LISTEN TO THE FUCKING ALBUM YOU ROBOT FUCK.
[rant avoided]

Anyway, if for some reason you have never heard of Sparta one of the two factions that At the Drive In became, then now is your opportunity. The first song on this record is a perfect embodiment of what you have in store for you. Because let me tell you Cut Your Ribbons is a gorgeous "post rock" tune that mellows into a damn catchy chorus, much like the rest of this record. The tail end of this album is a trippy little reverb sess. that i have always loved. Great Stuff here, take a peak.

sounds like: Small Brown Bike, At the Drive In, Riddle of Steel

Bump.
