Abandonded Pools - Armed To The Teeth

TO START WITH:
I am doing an experiment where i am burning all of my CDs back on to my computer as 320 kb mp3s, so that way you can download everything i own in the best possible quality. i'm going to be going by alphabetical order, so if you want another method, just let me know.



Tracklist:
1. Lethal Killers
2. Rabble
3. The Catalyst
4. Tighter Noose
5. Waiting To Panic
6. Hunting (The Universe Breaks My Heart)
7. Armed To The Teeth
8. Sooner Or Later
9. Sailing Seas
10. Renegade
11. Maybe Then Someday
12. Goodbye Song


Genre: Alternative Rock/Indie

Well, the first artist I have lined up in this little experiment is Abandonded Pools. Abandoned Pools is Tommy Walter, one of the founders and previous bassists for Eels. At first, Tommy's falsetto voice may draw allusions to Coldplay or other whiny third rate Radiohead imitators, but the songwriting is much better than that crowd's. The songs generally seem to have tight guitar leads accompanied by a chorus line, and it's done well. Walter's lyrics can seem cheesey, but that's mostly due to the falsetto he delivers them in. In reality, a lot of the lyrics seem to be very well thought out, although at times they can be a little cliche. All in all, this is a tight little album that has brought me much listening pleasure.

Grade: 8/10
